| I am beginning to suspect that the local trouble makers are dialing false 911s to get us to go a few miles away while they commit a crime. Happens 2 or 3 times a week and orignates on the cell tower near a certain area and we always respond to the same neighborhood for a shooting or cardiac arrest. The PD has to respond with us so they lose about 2 or 3 officers due to the area and we send 2 ambulances. Lo and behold there is a robbery or other crime called in sometimes just after we clear up that is legit. I looked it up on wiki and its called Swatting . Anyone else |

Anyone else umm yeah our shitheads have been doing that shit for litterally decades around here. Usually a call of mulitple shots fired and several subjets hit/down, but oddly enough we only get 1-911 call on it and usually from a UNK CELL or payphone. J- |

Anyone else It's been a problem here for the 15 years that I have been working. Generally it's a single cell phone call on shots fired. I have interviewed several drug dealers that used the technique to pull patrol units out of particular area so that they could move a decent quantity of dope. |
