Texarkana, Ark., Police Department is working with Texarkana, Ark., School District to launch a "See Something, Say Something" campaign to heighten awareness of potential threats in schools.
The campaign is a result of "the horrific events that have occurred recently involving school shootings," according to TAPD.
Anyone who sees or hears something about a possibly dangerous or harmful circumstance should call and report it.
"With the community working together both inside and outside of our school walls, we can assure our childrens' safety," said Officer Kristi Bennett, spokeswoman for TAPD.
