(((From the Blackburn Studios in Downtown Sioux Falls—Become a Blackburn Protected HOME  ---this is show 53-09

   I’m Bill Zortman and this is the Family Friendly Friday Show—it’s been a part of the broadcast landscape for more than a decade and we knAow that it is fact friendly and loved y YOU the audience.

   THE REASON—It’s good information from those who truly want to serve you—and those within the sound of your voice and mine—make it a special must know segment each week.

    We started with Jodi Schwan---Sioux Falls Business---yes her own built and created business that has the rest of us reporters and voices scrambling to do OUR PART as well

----------Jodi---Share with our audience what you have learned this week?

• We got a look this week at long-range plans for the Sanford Hospital campus in Central Sioux Falls
• Lots of positive updates lately around housing, new campaigns for SF Housing and the St. Francis House
• More national retail announcement as promised for the Sioux Falls East side

----------People want more information----where can they find it---and what do you expect –next Friday on the last Friday of August?

   Jessie Schmidt---BBB of the Midwest Plains

---I See your Topic is Personal Safety & Security----in Swatting----explain yourself----

• The Federal Protective Service is committed to ensuring the safety and security of those who visit and work in Federal Facilities---the guide we are talking provides essential information and resources on swatting, its impact and how to report SUSPICIOUS Activities
• Swatting is a malicious act that can involve placing false emergency calls to emergency responders, often reporting a false severe, ongoing crisis at ta special location. The goal of swatting is to provoke a significant law enforcement response, creating chaos and potentially resulting in violence
• ---SWATTING:

Typically involves claims of violent crimes such as active shooters, bob threats, or hostage situations

Can target individuals, businesses, government officials, schools, faith-based institutions and even federal facilities

Is illegal and carries serious legal consequences for perpetrators

      ---How Swatting works and how to spot it----

          Swatting , like doxing and phishing, often relies on open-source information and social engineering techniques to gather details about an individual or location. Swatters use deception tactics and different types of technology to manipulate law enforcement into responding to a fabricated emergency.   

       ---Techniques used by swatters: Usually use VOICE over Internet Protocol (VolP) services or spoofed phone numbers to conceal their identity

       ----Fake reports: Calls and sometimes emails may include highly specific details, such as the individuals name and address, to make the threat seem credible.

       ----Signs of swatting calls: Requests for an extreme response, inconsistent details, or calls coming from suspicious or untraceable sources can indicate a potential swatting attempt

       ----Multi-location attacks: Some swatters provide law enforcement with multiple names and addresses, spreading resources thin and increasing the confusion.

------How swatting decreases public safety:

   Swatting incidents are more than just a nuisance-they create serious risks to law enforcement officers, federal employees and the public

.Techniques divert critical resources: Swatting pulls officers away from real emergencies, potentially delaying response times for active threats

.Endangers innocent people, the confusion caused by a swatting call can results in unnecessary law enforcement, confrontations, or use of force against unsuspecting individuals

.Creates mistrust in emergency response: Repeated false alarms may desensitize responders, reducing their ability to assess true threats effectively

.Financial and operational costs: Responding to hoax emergencies, wastes taxpayer money and drains resources.
