Statewide Trainings
On May 30, 2018, Governor Greg Abbott unveiled his multifaceted “School and Firearm Safety Action Plan” in response to the Santa Fe High School shooting that occurred on May 18, 2018. His Action Plan includes expanding campus Crime Stoppers programs statewide. As the largest Crime Stoppers organization in the country, the Texas Criminal Justice Division asked Crime Stoppers of Houston to roll out our Safe School Program to as many Crime Stoppers organizations across the state – reaching approximately 1,800 school districts.
In response, we are committed to sharing our program, training stakeholders, developing curriculum, and engaging the community so that every Crime Stoppers organization operating within the State of Texas can offer their local schools and their entire community the same life-saving tools and resources we have here.
In 2018, we held our first quarterly training at our headquarters, followed by 6 more in-person quarterly trainings through February 2020. However, with the onset of COVID 19, we moved our trainings to a virtual platform for the remainder of 2020 through present. We’ve reached 291 Crime Stoppers groups/affiliates within Texas, 31 Crime Stoppers groups/affiliates from around the USA and internationally, and will continue to host quarterly trainings moving forward

Safe School Presentations Across Texas
In 2023, the Safe School Institute expanded its statewide team to ensure that every student, educator, law enforcement officer, and parent had free access to preventative education. We now have a robust team of presenters to spread awareness and valuable education on personal and school safety subject matter.
This team is responsible for facilitating presentation requests outside of the Greater Houston Area and building relationships with school campuses and districts across major cities and small towns.
