Indiana Governor Mike Braun has introduced a school safety-related tip line for all K-12 schools in Indiana.

The governor said the tip line will be completely anonymous and offer 24/7 monitoring at no cost to schools.

“This initiative will be the first of its kind here in Indiana,” Gov. Braun said in a video posted Friday. “Students, staff, and families will be able to anonymously report bullying, threats, violence, or concerns about someone who may be struggling.”

The state is investing $1 million into the anonymous tip line to “ensure every Indiana school has access to a secure and accessible platform for reporting safety concerns.”

“Every Hoosier student deserves a safe place to learn, so, if you’re worried about yourself or someone else, speak up,” the governor added.

The program is set to launch in January 2027 and is optional for schools to enroll in. Over the next several months, the Office of School Safety will offer outreach and education sessions about the tip lines to schools.

“Safety concerns do not stop when the school day ends,” Julie Q. Smith, the director of the Indiana Office of School Safety, said in a Friday release. “This will provide 24/7/365 monitoring by trained safety specialists, with urgent concerns escalated to designated school officials and emergency responders when necessary.”
