All SIA
member school districts have access the crime reporting service
WeTip.
Students, staff and the community members can call WeTip to report any
information on crimes committed against our schools. The hotline is a way
for people to get involved in establishing a safer community.
Students are
often afraid to report crime information because they fear reprisal from the
person they are reporting. WeTip gives students and their families an
opportunity to give information without fear.
When you call the WeTip hotline, the first words you will hear from the
operator will be, “This is the WeTip crime line, please do not give your
name.” The operator will then ask a series of questions, designed by law
enforcement, to obtain the maximum amount of information about the reported
crime.
WeTip
information is immediately conveyed to the appropriate police, fire, and
sheriff’s agencies.
After the information is taken, if the informant requests a reward, a
code name and number are assigned to the informant. Cash rewards
of up to $1000 are given upon verified reports from law enforcement that
WeTip information was received prior to arrest and that the information was
helpful in the arrest and conviction. The reward drop is made at a
designated postal location, using the assigned code names and case numbers.
No personal contact is ever made with the informant.
Brochures and posters promoting the program can be obtained through your
district’s WeTip liaison or by contacting SIA.
In the event a crime has occurred such as an arson fire, We Tip can create
posters for the crime area that ask for assistance in getting information
for the specific crime.
