CSPD not the source of recent text alerts

By Lt. Steve Brock, CSPD Public Information Officer

The College Station Police Department recently learned that several residents received a text message alerting them about a potential threat and advising them to stay in their homes. The exact content and origin of the message is unknown, but the text indicated it was sent by CSPD.

We have not generated any such texts.

We won't contact individuals with emergency information via text message. Instead, CSPD alerts the community through local media and official outlets such as the city's blog, website and social media pages.
