Anonymous Tip Line
Jackson College Security now allows the public to share important public safety information anonymously with security staff via an online form, smart phone app or secure text message about crimes or suspicious activity on college property. The system allows a safe and secure way for students, employees, and visitors to share important information with security staff without fear of retribution. This system is 100 percent anonymous, as the technology removes all identifying information before security sees it and there is no way to identify the sender.
