Safe2Tell, Created After Columbine, Making a Difference in Schools Despite High Number of Reports, AG Says


Following the tragedy at Columbine on April 20, 1999, Colorado initiated discussions on violence prevention. This led to the development of Safe2Tell, spurred by the need for an anonymous reporting system to prevent similar incidents. CSPV’s founding Director, Del Elliott and Ken Salazar began work on the Safe Communities Safe Schools initiative which laid the groundwork for this effort, traveling across the state to gather insights on enhancing community safety.
