Oklahoma School Security Institute (OSSI) Tip Line, found at

Web Application category. The Gold Award is presented to those
entries judged to exceed the high standards of the industry
norm.
“Due to several tragic events across the country, school
security has become a high priority, and everyone should be looking
for ways to improve the safety and security of the places our
children go to learn. This tip line is being provided as a means of
reporting such information,” said Oklahoma Office of Homeland
Security Director, Kim Carter. “I want to congratulate the OSSI
team for all their hard work in providing this great service.”
Tipline.OK.gov provides a form that is available 24/7 on any
computer or mobile device so information can be relayed directly to
school administrators and law enforcement. Communication personnel
monitor this line so that time sensitive information can be
forwarded quickly and effectively to the appropriate authorities
for timely intervention.
The OSSI tip line is maintained by the Oklahoma School Security
Institute, a division of the Oklahoma Office of Homeland Security
(OKOHS). It was designed by OKOHS through a partnership between
OMES and OK.gov, a subsidiary of the eGovernment firm, NIC.
