Attorney General Dave Sunday joined Carlisle Area School District officials and Pennsylvania Senator Greg Rothman at Carlisle High School on Monday to highlight the impact of the Safe2Say Something program during the 2024-2025 school year.
The anonymous reporting system, run by the Office of Attorney General, allows students and community members to report bullying, threats, violence, and other concerns. The program received over 32,000 tips statewide this school year and has logged more than 185,000 since its launch in 2019.
Officials stated the quality of tips continues to improve with increased training and familiarity. According to Attorney General Sunday and Special Agent Brittney Kline, director of the program, Safe2Say has played a role in preventing violence and recovering weapons in threat-related cases.
Carlisle Area School District reported receiving more than 750 anonymous tips since implementing the program. Superintendent Dr. Colleen Friend praised students for using the platform to keep their peers safe and emphasized the importance of the partnership between the district, families, educators, and law enforcement.
Senator Rothman noted the program’s role in teaching students to take responsibility for community safety.
The top statewide concerns reported in 2024-25 were bullying and cyberbullying, suicide or suicidal ideation, and drug distribution. The Attorney General’s office vets incoming tips and shares them with appropriate school or law enforcement officials. Training and materials from the program have reached over 500,000 students across Pennsylvania.
