False reports of officer involved shooting (re: June 19)

PLEASE READ: Today someone on the Scanner Radio App put out several alerts on my Broadcastify Monroe County Fire and EMS Dispatch Feed, one for an Active Shooter, then one for an Officer Involved Shooting, and another for a Manhunt. ALL of those Alerts were FALSE.
I have spoken with the people who control the Scanner Radio App which uses the Broadcastify Feeds for its app. They did remove the FALSE Alerts and have turned off the ability for Scanner Radio App users to use the Alerts function for all 12 of my Monroe County Broadcastify Feeds until they can figure out how the Safeguards that they have in place didn't work and allowed the FALSE Alerts to be sent to the Scanner Radio App.
When there is something Important enough for me to Send out an Alert it will be on Broadcastify Only, so if a Scanner app that you are using posts an Alert you can go to Broadcastify and see if I posted an Alert, if there are no alerts on Broadcastify that means that an Alert on a Scanner App is FALSE.
