Springboro Police Department App:
In addition to numerous safety/security measures conducted within the district, Springboro Schools would like to remind the public that the Springboro Police Department has an App for smartphones that could be used as another measure to keep our students safe.
The App has many functionalities, including receiving safety alerts, viewing press releases on criminal activity in the area, general public safety information, etc.
However, the one function students and parents might be most interested in is the "School Crime/Tip" button whereby anyone can
anonymously
send a message to our School Resource Officers to alert them to any known or suspected criminal activity that is occurring or planned at our schools. Simply tap that button and send a message directly to the police (You can also use that function to call the Police Department, as well).
The App can be downloaded from the Google Play Store or Apple iTunes by simply searching, "Springboro Police Department."
