As the new school year begins, Michigan students are being reminded of the tipline that can make it easy for them to anonymously seek help with a threatening situation in school.

OK2SAY was launched in 2014 as a portal for students to use if they need help with a situation in their schools. The tipline has since received more than 45 thousand tips, according to WSJM.

The most common reports involve suicidal thoughts or self-harm, as well as bullying, drugs, and anxiety. OK2SAY is not designed for policing actrivity, but rather aimed at protecting every student in the state.

How To Submit a Tip:

If you receive a threat or know of a threat of violence against your community, please contact your local law enforcement or call 9-1-1. Non-emergency tips can be submitted the following ways:
