AISD Police Department warns about individuals posing as district officers

Austin ISD Police Department has a warning about fraudulent phone calls from people posing as police officers. Community members are reporting to the police dispatch for Austin ISD that they have gotten phone calls from people identifying themselves as Austin ISD Police Department employees and repeatedly claiming the call recipient has an arrest warrant. The caller then asks for Social Security numbers and other sensitive information. Such calls are fraudulent, the department says, reminding the public that Austin ISD would not ask for that kind of sensitive personal information over the phone. If you you have been a victim of this potential scam, call 311 to make a nonemergency report.
