Last week, Findlay High School experienced a swatting incident, prompting a lockdown. Law enforcement responded within three minutes of the call, despite initial doubts about its validity. Findlay City Schools activated their Safe Defend security system, facilitating a swift response.
Although some parents expressed frustration over communication during the incident, officials emphasized the importance of waiting for accurate information and avoiding social media speculation. The district is reviewing its response and plans to improve communication with first responders. Superintendent Hatton intends to explore measures to prevent and punish swatting incidents further.
