Message from Deputy Franzen - School Zone Safety
Unity High School is introducing a new concept to start the 2011 2012 school year.  Unity Crimestopper Safe Schools Program is being instituted in an effort to ensure students have a safe environment for studying and learning.
What is Unity Crimestopper Safe School Program
Unity Crimestopper is a program to get students involved in keeping their school safe. 
Unity Crimestopper's main goal is to solve and PREVENT serious crimes by providing students with rewards and/or incentives for information concerning crimes on campus.  We believe students, themselves, are the best tool in keeping schools safe.
Kids today are faced with many dangers, dating violence, internet predators, bullying, drugs, underage drinking, and more.  Unity strives to give students access to people and services that can make them safe from all kinds of threats.
How the program works
A student with information concerning a crime that has occurred, or may occur, contacts the Crimestopper program, (using the secure e-mail link on the left side of this page) and submits relevant information via e-mail.  The anonymous student is then given a Crimestopper code number in a return e-mail.  The information is then passed along to school administration and possibly law enforcement for follow up.  If the information provided prevents a crime or leads to an arrest, disciplinary action, or the recovery of property, the student receives a reward.  Contact will be returned via e-mail.
A successful Crimestopper program will reduce violence, criminalization, and victimization of the student population by encouraging students to report incidents and threats of violence.  It promotes pride and responsibility and allows students to play an active role in their own safety.
