Agenda

The FBI works to protect Nebraska communities from major threats, including terrorism, cybercrime, violent offenders, and crimes that undermine our nation’s infrastructure and democracy. Swatting, which involves making false emergency reports intended to trigger a law enforcement response, is a growing danger. These incidents waste critical resources, put first responders at risk, and can cause serious physical and emotional harm to victims. Some swatting cases nationwide have resulted in severe injuries and even fatalities. While most cases begin at the local or state level, the FBI increasingly supports these investigations with resources and guidance.
