Creates best practices for police departments to maintain swatting incident registries.
The problem
Swatting—making false emergency calls to send police to someone's address—endangers lives and wastes emergency resources. No consistent national approach exists.
The proposal
Establishes recommended practices for law enforcement agencies to document, track, and share information about swatting incidents.
The impact
Police departments gain guidance on swatting response procedures. Potential targets and communities may benefit from better incident tracking and prevention.
Standardized registries help police departments share swatting information and identify repeat patterns. This enables faster, more effective emergency response and may prevent future incidents.
Frequent swatting targets include celebrities, activists, and public figures. A registry helps law enforcement protect these individuals by tracking threats and coordinating prevention.
Establishing best practices requires minimal funding compared to new enforcement programs. Police departments can adopt guidelines using existing resources and personnel.
Promotes public understanding of swatting as serious crime with real consequences. Educational initiatives can deter potential offenders from attempting false emergency calls.
Best practices are voluntary recommendations. Without legal requirements or funding, some police departments may not adopt the registry system consistently.
Creating registries of swatting victims could expose personal information. If data breaches occur, it could put targeted individuals at greater risk.
The bill does not specify who pays for registry development, maintenance, or staff training. Costs could burden local law enforcement budgets.
Registries track incidents but don't prevent swatting directly. Without stronger prosecution penalties or technology improvements, the underlying problem continues.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
