On Wednesday, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee and the Tennessee Department of Safety & Homeland Security invited Tennesseans to get ready for the new school year by downloading the SafeTN app.
Governor Lee said every Tennesseean has an active role to play in ensuring school safety, and that starts with downloading the Safe TN app. As students return to school this month, the SafeTN app is an easy way for parents and guardians to quickly and confidentially report safety concerns.
The SafeTN app gives every Tennessean a direct line for confidentially reporting suspicious or concerning activity within schools. Concerns and tips are vetted by law enforcement 24/7 to address circumstances like:
- Violence or assault
- Threats of violence or a planned attack
- Physical injury or harm to self or others
In the coming weeks, the Lee administration will share data and next steps for the Governor’s recent executive order to enhance school safety throughout Tennessee. Additional resources will be provided to parents, schools and law enforcement throughout the fall.
