people at increased risk of false emergency raids

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'

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
