Crime Prevention Tip: The University of Texas at Austin has a feature on UT Landlines in which you can capture the telephone number of a person calling into that phone line. To operate this feature, simply hang the phone up after receiving the call of interest. Pick the receiver back up and dial *57. A recorded message will let you know if the number was captured. If the call leads you to make a police report, advise the responding officer you used the “*57” feature. This feature works on University of Texas landlines. The University of Texas Police Department responded to 20 Alarm Reports, 1 “Police Help” Call Box Activations, 6 Public Assist Requests, 1 Collision Report, 8 Traffic Violations, 1 Found Property Report, 3 Unsecured Door Reports, 1 Welfare Concern Report, 2 Medical Emergency Assists and 1 Suspicious Activity Report between 05/13/14 and 05/14/14.
