> 1) The department could have a policy that considers all calls real threats. For example lets say you target a business that carries a lot of cash with swatting. You fatigue the cops with swatting until they no longer respond. Then you rob the place.

It's not that you no longer respond. What competent orgs do is establish that there is a swatting risk after the first incident (or after the individual notifies them), call the phone of a known good number at the residence/business to verify that things are okay, and then send a patrol car to the residence/business as a final safety check.

It's really not super complicated. You treat it like a real threat but with a known risk of impersonation/fake threats. And importantly you don't jump straight to the kicking down doors and swinging vases SWAT response but rather gradually ratchet up the response as red flags appear.
