Policy to identify people at increased risk of false emergency raids

James Sullivan made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police

The request was successful.

From: James Sullivan

Dear New Zealand Police,

There is a known problem globally, and specifically the US, of malicious actors making false emergency calls to trigger armed police responses on targets. This is commonly known as 'swatting' https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022...

I would like to know if NZ Police has any policy or process where individuals can identify themselves at increased risk of such crimes.

Yours faithfully,

James Sullivan
