What is the issue with tips or Say something systems?
Many people will claim tip lines or say something system don’t work well because:
“those in the know, don’t tell, those who would tell, aren’t in the know.”
Of course, like anything else, there is some truth to that statement, but the folks at crime stoppers would dispute that.
The pragmatists will tell you this: without a tip line or say something system, those who can tell, probably won’t.
Two things are important for a successful campus safety tip line or say something system:
So, what is being done today?
Somes schools have anonymous(or claim to be anonymous) tip lines or say something systems.
Here are the issues with that:
- Simple tip line apps are easy to create.
- A good system will need to handle workflow and the resolution tracking.
- Those reporting need an option to be anonymous.
- If a system violates the trust of a user that they will be anonymous — the future viability of the program and the system are in jeopardy.
- A great example of this is happened with the FortifyFL system that was developed by Canadian custom app developer: App Armor. App Armor tracked the longitude and latitude of people who reported the tip. There was a great deal of credibility loss when they were exposed for violating the privacy of the user. This potentially created great harm to the efficacy and credibility of the entire program and further putting Florida students in harm’s way.
