Prioritizing Safety for All Students

 
FortifyFL is a suspicious activity reporting tool that allows individuals to submit tips concerning unsafe, potentially harmful, dangerous, violent, or criminal activities and threats. That information goes immediately and directly to appropriate law enforcement agencies and school officials.
The app was developed by former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, the Florida Department of Education and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.


You can download the app on your mobile device or submit tips on your desktop computer at www.getfortifyfl.com. You can leave contact information but can also report anonymously, if you prefer.
