If You See Something Say Something PSA Campaign

The Office of School Innovation and Integrated Youth Services Division has partnered with the San Diego Unified School Police Services Department to launch the "If You See Something Say Something" campaign. The goal of this campaign is to encourage and empower each student to report suspicious and/or criminal activities happening on our school campuses to law enforcement, school staff, anonymously by calling CrimeStoppers or by using the Crime Stoppers App. On November 1, 2018 the CCTE multimedia production high school teachers gathered together to learn about this exciting opportunity for their students to create a 30 second public service announcement (PSA) video. The PSA will highlight the Students Speaking Out program sponsored by San Diego County Crime Stoppers. The mission of Students Speaking Out is to empower young people to use their voices to make schools and communities safer. We believe that students can make a difference in bringing an end to senseless violence and dangerous activities that interfere with young people achieving their dreams. We will do EVERYTHING we can to protect them, to remove barriers and empower our communities to stand up and let their voices be heard. One video will be selected from all the video submissions to be honored at the annual "Enough is Enough" luncheon where it will be debuted to all law enforcement agencies in San Diego County.
