Spotlight Discussion: Swatting and Hoax Considerations and Response (On Demand)
Swatting—making fraudulent emergency calls about serious threats—has increasingly impacted schools and first responders across the country. These and other hoax threats not only negatively affect school climate and perceptions of school safety, but they are often felt throughout entire communities.
In this roundtable discussion, you will hear from a school-based team that has recently dealt with a swatting incident. You’ll learn how they addressed the threat in the moment, ensured the community was informed, and made improvements to their existing operations plans.

Thanks to the Nebraska Department of Education for sharing the (4) four part video series on Swatting!
Swatting is a criminal harassment tactic in which law enforcement are deceived into responding to a non-existent emergency, such as a bomb threat, active shooter, or hostage situation. Schools around Nebraska and across the country have been victimized by swatting. In this video, Jay Martin, Director of the Nebraska Department of Education's School Safety team, talks about swatting's effects on schools, and how schools can prepare, prevent, respond, and recover.
