I wonder if this has occured in Washignton...D.C...yet?
no that would be wrong,....
Our local dispatch center has actually trained to sniff out SWATTING prank calls before the cops get there. I’ve heard them dispatch cops to supposed murder calls and start advising the officers about inconsistencies in the stories being told and lack of prior calls to the residence.
It usually ends with the cops saying, “We have talked to the resident and done a voluntary walk through with nothing found.”
Well trained dispatchers will help reduce this problem.
