EPISODE 167

Calling Bull$h!#:

Responding to Swatting Hoaxes 

Aug 16, 2024 | Podcast

A special tactics team using heavy armored vehicles serves a search warrant

No one should die over a false report. Internet gamers, celebrities and public figures, and maybe even one of your neighbors have been the victim of this sort of prank. These hoax emergency calls that can lead to an exaggerated police response are becoming more common, so we discuss strategies to make sure we tailor our response appropriately and keep everyone safe.
