The Missouri School Violence Hotline (founded 2001) transitioned to Courage2Report Missouri in May 2019. C2R is a way for adults and children to be part of the solution in addressing community and school safety. This prevention strategy operates under the Missouri State Highway Patrol in collaboration with Missouri School Board's Association Center for Education Safety and Missouri Department of Social Services. C2R Missouri is the law-enforcement led component of school safety for the state of Missouri. Missouri schools are encouraged by Missouri Department of Public Safety to include C2R Missouri as part of school safety planning. The C2R Missouri Program connects schools with other community partners as part of a coordinated response to school-related incidents. According to the U.S. Secret Service, in 81% of the instances where a violent act occurs on school property at least one student had prior knowledge of the event but failed to report it. Students must learn the importance of taking every threat seriously and reporting it. C2R Missouri helps students do this in a way that keeps them safe.
