The function of the Safe School Institute is to create a one-stop center for all aspects of school safety. The Safe School Institute keeps schools safe by creating a proactive dialogue with students, parents, school staff and law enforcement about personal and school safety and by providing students with a safe and anonymous way to report crime and potential dangers on campus.
Since its inception in 1997, the Safe School Institute has evolved into a FREE, year-round program that has educated over 1 million students in over 60 school districts in the Greater Houston Area and Texas.
The Institute delivers all three levels of prevention: primary, secondary, and tertiary. We are committed to reaching our audience whenever they are able whether it be during school hours or outside of school hours, on campus or off-campus. Whatever their needs are, the Safe School Institute is available at no cost to provide a customized format that addresses those needs.
