Bureau of Criminal Apprehension

A Division of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety
 

BCA Tip App

The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension uses an app specifically for receiving tips about threats made against Minnesota schools or places of worship.

If you have a tip to share, download the See It Say It Send It app to your cell phone or other electronic device. The app is free and your tips can be anonymous.

This does not replace contacting local law enforcement or a school resource officer.​

*Call or text 911 first when reporting ongoing incidents and immediate threats.​

What will the BCA do with the tip?

  • For tips related to school facilities - The BCA will triage the tips, notify local law enforcement and assist as needed with the response to criminal activity. The BCA will work with the Minnesota School Safety Center, the Minnesota Dept. of Education and schools to determine the appropriate response to tips that aren’t about criminal activity.
  • For tips related to religious facilities - The BCA will triage the tips, notify local law enforcement and assist as needed with the response to criminal activity. The BCA will coordinate with religious facility leadership on tips that aren’t about criminal activity.
