Coordinated Development

FortifyFL was created and funded by the 2018 Florida Legislature as part of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act. The application was named by students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. The Office of Attorney General, Department of Education and Florida Department of Law Enforcement coordinated its development and roll-out.

What Are People Saying?

Schools are safer when we all work together to identify potential threats and report them to law enforcement. I want to thank the thousands of students, teachers and faculty already joining our mission to protect Florida schools, and ask that anyone who has not yet downloaded the Fortify Florida app, to please take a minute to do this simple task. Downloading the app and using it to file an anonymous tip could save a life.

Recent and past tragedies remind us of the need for our students and communities to report suspicious activity so we can keep our schools as safe as possible. FortifyFL gives law enforcement officers a new, direct connection to tips and information that will help protect our children.
