McKinney, Texas – With the 2019-2020 school year now in full swing, it’s a great time to revisit one of the most convenient and easy to use tools that students can utilize to enhance school safety—tip411.

Introduced on McKinney ISD campuses in 2013 through a joint effort by MISD and the McKinney Police Department, tip411 is a communication system that gives students—or any concerned citizen—a means to quickly and anonymously report suspicious or criminal behavior.

Anyone with a cell phone can send an anonymous tip to the McKinney Police Department by texting a campus-specific keyword and tip information to 847411 (tip411). Tips can also be made online on the district’s tip411 page.

Please note: tip411 is not a substitute for calling the Police Department to report any in-progress incident. If an immediate response is needed, please dial 9-1-1 in cases of emergency or 972-547-2700 if no emergency exists.

Last year, campus SROs received more than 2,300 tips through the tip411 system.

Tip411 is part of a comprehensive MISD school safety program that includes, but is not limited to: school resource officers at each secondary campus and two school resource officers assigned to elementary schools; 1,800 security cameras across the district; security vestibules and lockdown buttons at every campus; video-monitored school buzz-in systems across the district; and multiple security cameras on every MISD bus.

Below is a list of MISD schools and tip411 keywords, which can also be found on the district’s tip411 page.
