School threats and dangerous weapons reporting

Educational institutions are required by Minnesota law to report after-action information about dangerous weapons, active shooter, swatting/hoax communication or other threat incidents with a nexus to their institution to the Minnesota Department of Education and the Minnesota Department of Public Safety's Minnesota School Safety Center and Minnesota Fusion Center. This requirement went into effect on July 1, 2025.

Educational institutions should use this form to begin the reporting process. 

This form should only be used to submit incidents after they have occurred and been resolved. Emergency, emerging or imminent threat incidents should be reported directly to local law enforcement.
