The Safe to Tell Act has been introduced by 4th District Congressman Jim Himes and creates a grant program for states to develop systems, such as telephone hotlines, mobile apps or websites, that allow people to anonymously report potential threats to schools.  Himes says too often in the wake of a school shooting, there were warning signs that went unreported --sometimes because they didn't know how or where to report it.  The Safe to Tell Act creates ways for people to share their concerns of potential threats and educates the public and law enforcement on how to report.  Earlier warning and better reporting will save lives.”
