The Ministry of Interior Security Defies Swats as “doing malicious Hoax calls to wrongly report emergency services to report a continuous emergency situation, such as a violent crime or explosive at a certain location.”
Usually the aim of these calls is to cause “large-scale implementation of special weapons and tactics (SWAT) teams, bompompads and other police sources,” notes the DHS website.
“Individuals and institutions are often not aware of the emergency response, which causes confusion, frustration and potential use in force that can lead to damage to the target and responding officials,” says it.
