The increase in threats to Minnesota’s school communities is real. If you hear about planned or threatened violence at Minnesota schools, don’t be silent! And don’t dismiss it as a hoax. Students, parents and school professionals can use the See It, Say It, Send It app to send a tip to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) using your cell phone or other mobile devices.

If it is an emergency situation, always call 911 first.

When the BCA receives a tip about threatened or planned violence involving a Minnesota school, we 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.

You can learn more about providing tips to the BCA on our Submit a Tip page.
