Crime Stoppers and High School P3 Program
The Kansas City Crime Commission sponsors various initiatives that make our communities safer. Citizens can provide crime tips through the TIPS Hotline, but now the Crime Stoppers P3 Scholastic program has been instituted at the Tonganoxie High School.
The program is overseen by school administrators, students, and the Tonganoxie Police Department.
All high school students are provided with a smartphone application that allows anonymous reporting to enhance school safety. This application is not only for reporting crime, but for other important issues. This may include bullying, social media posts referencing school violence, or at-risk teens thinking about suicide.
The police department and school faculty can now react in real time if such events are reported through P3 Scholastic Tips.
