Now, Richland Police have launched the See Something, Say Something keychain program for Richland and Hanford High Schools.

 The Keychains Carry Resource and Emergency Information

According to RPD on their Facebook and other outlets:

"Our SROs are handing out school-specific See Something, Say Something keychains featuring a QR code that connects students directly to RPD’s online tip system."

They are designed to keep this awareness top of mind with students, and to make it easier for them to report a situation that clearly needs to be looked at.

   School Resource Officers are Handing Them Out

According to Richland Police, they are available on Wednesdays and Fridays, they urge students to look for the School Resource Officer and get one.
