The Safe Schools Program operates as an umbrella program under the guidance of the WCCS Board of Directors. All High Schools and Middle Schools in Williamson County are encouraged to use this program on campus and engage the student population to report criminal activity or school violations. Any information provided is guaranteed to be anonymous and successful tips can qualify for a reward as approved by the WCCS Board.
This project, which began about 3 years ago, meets Governor Abbot’s School and Firearm Safety Action Plan recommendation to “Expand Crime Stoppers operations and launch an awareness campaign for school employees and students to encourage the reporting of tips related to school crime.”
If you SEE SOMETHING or HEAR SOMETHING – SAY SOMETHING.
WCCS has partnered with over 20 high schools (HS) and middle schools (MS) in our Safe Schools Program.
