Anonymous Alerts® is a complete anonymous reporting system and software management system.

A submitter can establish anonymous 2-way communications® with authorized personnel. Anonymous Alerts is Patented (U.S. Patent No. 9,071,579). The Anonymous Alerts® reporting app was created to help students, parents or community members choose a school official to contact, type of incident to report, school building and/or a specific location, set a priority level of normal or high and upload a photo, screenshot or video related to the incident. At first, the school or school district provides a login ID and password for a student or parent to login with and send a report directly to their school official(s). Students and parents have access to their content that is specific to their school or district. Once the user login ID and password are saved they can report incidents at any time. The Anonymous Alerts® system encrypts tips so that school officials can respond to a tipster without being able to identify the person. Our system also alternately allows tipsters to identify themselves. Students can use the Smart Button® to report their GPS location if lost, abducted or in a dangerous situations. Our Smart Button® can also be used by a school official to report their GPS location in dangerous situations. Anonymous Alerts® helps detect, deny and control bullying, safety and mental health issues in schools, the workplace and universities. The app is free to download. Anonymous Alerts® App requires a subscription and is customized with your organization name, locations and school officials to contact and phone numbers. If your school or school district is not a current subscriber of Anonymous Alerts® ask them to request a subscription.
