STOPit
THE STOPit APP has rolled out to Madera Unified School District students this school year at the Jr High and High School grade levels. STOPit provides students with a simple, fast, and powerful anonymous reporting via STOPit mobile app, web and hotline. It allows for anonymous 2-way dialogue with reporters / student in real-time reporting issues that can be addressed before they turn into an emergency.
The STOPit app is modern and easy to use with the ability for reporters to easily attach photos or videos. In addition to the mobile app solution, STOPit also offers a web interface with the same functionality as well as a reporting hotline with call centers around the county that are accessible 24/7. So far, since the rollout of STOPit, the schools have been getting anonymous tips regarding drug sales, possession, weapon possession and self-harm. This very useful app has far exceeded our expectations and its widespread use is actively contributing to our school safety.
