A rash of bomb threats and other false alarms directed at Kentucky schools last week aren’t just illegal – they also endanger first responders and many others. That’s according to Sergeant Guy Miller, the public information officer of the Lexington Police Department. He said the penalties against what’s known these days as “swatting” have been stiffened in Kentucky – with good reason.
“You could have multiple officers working into the city going to that location, our emergency response team, that unit getting ready, you have our Air One unit that is probably getting ready, all these people getting ready within five minutes.”
