ProtectOK: New App For Reporting Safety Threats

The State of Oklahoma and the Oklahoma School Security Institute have created a new app for reporting suspicious activity or safety threats.

The app, ProtectOK, allows Oklahomans to anonymously report suspicious activity to law enforcement.

“Gun violence is the number one factor in child death in our country, which we find totally unacceptable,” said Tim Tipton, Commissioner of Public Safety for Oklahoma. “ProtectOK was created to be a simple, free and anonymous way for people to bring threats forward to law enforcement so we can quickly intervene to save lives.”

ProtectOK is available on Apple App Store and Google Play for free.

The creators of the app are hoping to prevent school shootings and community-based threats.

ProtectOK is a part of the federal “If You See Something, Say Something” campaign.
