Launch the media gallery 1 playerTreynor CSD offers students, parents and staff the ability to anonymously report threats to self or others using three tools: Safe & Sound Iowa, SpeakUp and/or CrisisGo.
- Safe and Sound Iowa is an anonymous tool, which is monitored 24/7 by trained dispatchers in Iowa who will immediately engage in two-way communication with those raising concerns.
- SpeakUp is an anonymous reporting tool specifically designed for Pottawattamie County. All reports are reviewed by the County Threat Assessment Team. This tool is not monitored 24/7.
- CrisisGo is an anonymous reporting tool that is monitored by school administrators.
Why use any of the reporting tools? In past school attacks in the United States, 92% of those who noticed concerning behaviors before the events were schoolmates. Students may not report warning signs due to feelings of anxiety or intimidation, fear of retaliation or not knowing who to talk to. Anonymous reporting removes these barriers with easy, convenient and confidential ways to report safety concerns. Continue reading below to learn more about each of the 3 ARS options.
Safe and Sound Iowa
Safe & Sound Iowa reports can be made securely and anonymously:
- Online at SafeandSoundIowa.gov
- Through the Safe+Sound Iowa mobile app, or
- By phone at 800-224-6018.
Trained dispatchers monitor reports 24/7 and immediately engage in two-way communication with those raising concerns. They then reach out to the appropriate local school safety contact, law enforcement or other community partners.
