Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) Classes Posted The University of Texas at Austin Police Department has posted two RAD courses for this Fall Semester. RAD is a program of realistic, self-defense tactics and techniques. It is a comprehensive course for women. The course begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and avoidance then progresses on to the basics of hands-on defensive training.

Our next CPA is rapidly approaching. If you are interested in attending The University of Texas at Austin Police Department's Citizen's Police Academy, please see the attached documents. PERRY-CASTAÑEDA LIBRARY, 101 East 21st Street Theft: A Galaxy S6 cellular telephone was stolen after it left on a trashcan located inside a 2nd floor women's restroom as the owner was occupied inside one of the restroom stalls. Loss value: $400.00. Occurred on 09/28/15 between 4:15 PM and 4:20 PM. UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS ADMINISTRATION BUILDING, 1616 Guadalupe Criminal Trespass Warning: A non-UT subject approached a security guard desk located in the ground floor lobby and inquired about the restrooms. After the security guard informed the subject there were no public restrooms in the building, the subject walked past the guard desk and proceeded to the non-public restrooms located on the first floor. Responding officers located the subject exiting the restroom. The subject advised the officers they had no right to identify him and would subsequently be listed in a “conspiracy law suit.†I venture to say the written criminal trespass warning that was issued to the subject will also be brought up in said law suit. Occurred on 09/29/15 at 8:50 AM. UNIVERSITY POLICE BUILDING, 2201 Robert Dedman Scam: The UT Police Department received yet another phone call from a student reporting a scam. The student advised someone had spoofed a law enforcement telephone number and called the student to advise them they owed money to the IRS. Under the threat of arrest, the caller demanded the student make payment by obtaining a pre-paid cash card then provide the card information over the phone. Fortunately, the student did not fall for this scam and disconnected the call. Reported on 09/29/15 at 1:09 PM. Crime Prevention Tip: This is a common scam that is frequently committed against college students. Trust me; law enforcement agencies do not collect debts via the telephone. If you receive this type of call, simply hang up the phone. If you want to confirm any tax debts you may owe, contact the IRS directly. 2300 Guadalupe (non-UT Property) Theft / Assist Outside Agency: A theft in progress call was reported to the UT Police Department from a Stop-n-Rob (convenience store) located in the 2300 block of Guadalupe. The store manager advised a male subject exited the store without paying for two cans of beer. A subject matching the description of the suspect was found a few blocks away. Once that subject was positively identified as the hops thief, he was issued a citation for the theft of $6.50 worth of brew. Occurred on 09/29/15 at approximately 10:15 AM. 2300 Guadalupe Possession of Dangerous Drug: A non-UT subject was observed exhibiting signs of being under the influence of an unknown substance. During the interview, the substance came to light via the subject's own admission of having smoked the synthetic cannabinoid commonly known as K2. The subject was subsequently found to be in possession of .34 ounces of K2. Occurred on 09/29/15 at 8:30 PM. 2300 Guadalupe Driving While License Invalid / Assist Outside Agency: A non-UT subject was stopped for driving a vehicle at night without headlamps.
