Safe 2 Say Program FAQs

  • MNSD launched the S2S Program in January 2019.
  • This program was implemented by parents of the victims of the Sandy Hook school shooting who decided that something had to be put in place where anyone, at any time, could forward any valid  concerns 24/7 in an anonymous format.
  • To date, we have received and handled 164 Safe To Say tips, most of which have been received anonymously via online submission.
