FortifyFL: Report a Safety Concern

At State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota (SCF), maintaining a safe and secure environment is a shared responsibility.  Students, employees and members of the community are encouraged to speak up when they become aware of a potential threat or safety concern.

What is FortifyFL?

FortifyFL is Florida’s suspicious activity reporting tool that allows students and community members to quickly report information about unsafe, potentially harmful, dangerous, violent or criminal activity, or threat of such activity.

With FortifyFL, you can:

• Submit a report anonymously.  You are not required to provide your name or contact information.
• Share important details.  Provide information about a threat, suspicious activity or other safety concern.
• Include photos or videos.  Supporting images and video can be uploaded with your report.
• Report from a phone or computer.  FortifyFL is available through its mobile app or online.

See Something?  Say Something.

If you see, hear or learn about something that could threaten the safety of the SCF community, report it.  Providing information early can help College officials and law enforcement assess concerns and take appropriate action.

FortifyFL is also available as a free mobile app:

In an Emergency

FortifyFL is not a substitute for 911.  If there is an immediate threat to life or safety or an emergency is in progress, call 911.

Important Information About False Reports

FortifyFL should only be used to report legitimate safety concerns.  Under Florida law (FS 943.082), if an investigation determines that someone knowingly submitted a false tip through FortifyFL, information associated with the device used to submit the report may be provided to law enforcement for further investigation, and the person submitting the false report may be subject to criminal penalties.

Unless a person chooses to disclose their identity, FortifyFL reports otherwise remain anonymous as provided by Florida law.
