U.S. Schools Pay Classroom Informants

September 21st, 2008

Via: BBC:

When police armed response units pulled up at Scripps Ranch High School, it was bad news for the teenage boy carrying a replica machine gun around campus.

For the student who tipped off the police, though, things were looking up.

Under an incentive scheme at Scripps Ranch, a large San Diego high school, students can call a special “tip line” – 888-580-TIPS – to report suspicious activity on campus.

Callers whose tips lead to arrests or charges can earn themselves rewards of up to $1,000.
