This "Swatting: Awareness for Law Enforcement" video provides swatting information tailored for all law enforcement personnel, both sworn and non-sworn. This video aims to provide foundational knowledge about swatting incidents and strategies to ensure an appropriate response. It is the first in a series of short videos designed to education law enforcement and subcommunities about swatting events and how to mitigate their harmful events. This video does not replace formal training but helps elevate the understanding of swatting across the law enforcement community.  (DHS Video by Federal Protective Service)
