FBI Won’t Provide Number of Swatting Call Incidents for 2024
Podcast: Education in FocusPublished On: Mon Jan 06 2025
Description: The FBI says it will not release the total number of swatting calls for the 2024 year despite the persistence of calls that shut down schools and alarmed communities. The federal law enforcement agency previously provided Chalkboard News with a count of the total number of swatting incidents, which are reported by local law enforcement to a virtual command center. "Swatting" is a type of hoax threat where a bad actor says there is an active threat in order to initiate a response from law enforcement officers. Typical swatting hoaxes at a school often involve telling police there is an active shooter or bomb threat.
