FortifyFL is a mobile app and web-based tool that allows students, parents, and community members in Florida to anonymously report suspicious activities, potential threats, or safety concerns related to schools. The website and the app immediately forwards these reports to appropriate law enforcement agencies and school officials for rapid response. It was developed as part of Florida’s school safety initiatives following the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School tragedy in 2018.

In response to a high volume of false tips being submitted through FortifyFL, the Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) requires school districts to provide instruction on the Proper Use of FortifyFL to parents and guardians.

School access (proceeding past the front office of any school) is required for every individual that is not a staff member of the St. Johns County School District.  This is done through completion of the district’s volunteer application. School access is good for 3 years. For help completing the online application, please call (904) 547-3945.
