The Georgia Department of Education, in conjunction with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, operates a statewide, 24-hour, toll-free, school safety hotline. The hotline was established in 1998 and gives students, teachers, parents, and others a way to report threats and other school crimes both easily and anonymously.

Georgia's 24-hour school safety hotline number is:

1-877-SAY-STOP (1-877-729-7867).
