BeSafe
M-DCPS is launching a NEW District Anonymous Reporting System (BeSafe) that includes TEXTING, WEB-BASED reporting, and PHONE reporting of any school safety concerns.
BeSafe allows students to anonymously submit incidents of crime, weapons, drug violations or other safety concerns in schools; thus reducing fear of retribution and preventing additional incidents.
BeSafe can be used to address any crime, disorder, or disruptive behavior and is a particularly effective prevention tool to encourage students to submit incidents that threaten the security of the school environment.
Effective May 3, 2010, BeSafe will be available using any of the following
3 Options:
WEB-BASED Reporting: Links will be placed on the dadeschools.net pages that will redirect the user to besafe.dadeschools.net An anonymous reporting form can be completed and submitted at this time. Direct Access: http://besafe.dadeschools.net
TEXTING: Using cell phones, a text message is sent to 274637 (CRIMES) with the text message beginning with the keyword "BESAFE"; followed by the anonymous tip.
PHONE Reporting: Continue to utilize 305-995-COPS
Mario Savio Award
The Mario Savio Award carries a cash prize of $6000 and is presented each year to a young person(s) with a deep commitment to human rights and social justice. Deadline is June 30, 2010. Link below has more information.
