GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. — Colorado’s Safe2Tell program received 591 reports in July, closing out the 2025-26 reporting year with 29,302 total tips. The annual total was below the 31,177 reports submitted in 2024-25, but it was higher than the 28,218 logged two years ago.
The numbers point to a program that remains active, closely watched and still heavily used by students, parents and community members across Colorado. The July report also shows what people are reporting most often: mental health, school safety, abuse and exploitation, and bullying.
What Safe2Tell is seeing
According to the July report, mental health accounted for 19.1% of concerns. School safety followed at 13.5%, abuse and exploitation at 13.2%, and bullying at 8.3%. Those are the issues most likely to land in the state’s anonymous reporting system, which officials say operates around the clock.
Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser said the program is available for anyone who sees signs of harm. “We want all students, we want all community members, parents and others to know that when you have reports of harm that is happening, someone bringing a gun to school, selling drugs at school, someone being bullied at school or someone struggling with their mental health, Safe2Tell is here for you 24-7, an anonymous trusted source where you can share critical information and then we can pass it on to the right source to do something about it before tragedy strikes,” Weiser said.
Why the report matters
The monthly figures offer a window into the pressures schools and families are dealing with, and they show how often people turn to anonymous reporting when they see warning signs. The toll is not just administrative. Each tip can send a concern to the right place before a situation escalates.
Safe2Tell is Colorado’s anonymous reporting system for concerns about the safety and well-being of students. The program is not an emergency response line, but state officials say it remains a trusted source for sharing critical information when time matters.
That role gives the July report extra weight. A lower annual total than last year does not mean fewer worries. It may simply show how widely the program is being used to flag problems before they turn into something worse. Weiser’s message was blunt: Safe2Tell exists so people can act before tragedy strikes.
