The FCPS Office of Safety and Security provides posters with Tipline information to schools. Posters are placed in key locations throughout FCPS schools.

If An Emergency...

If your tip is an emergency and immediate assistance is necessary, please dial 911.

As part of Fairfax County Public Schools' continuing efforts to maintain safe schools, a confidential and anonymous Tipline is available to students, parents, staff, and other members of the FCPS community.

School administrators encourage students, staff, and community members to report school safety issues, such as threats, unsafe or dangerous situations, illegal drug activity, theft,  gang activity, the existence of weapons, vandalism, and concerns about student wellness. Tipline users may identify themselves or remain anonymous.
