UIS Community,

Timely Warning – Attempted Arson

• Date/Time of Incident: Over the night of July 7, 2025
• Location: Public Affairs Center (PAC)

Dear campus community member,

The UIS Police Department is issuing this Timely Warning in compliance with the Clery Act.

Dear UIS Community,

The University of Illinois Springfield Police Department wants to alert you to a recent fraudulent phone scam targeting members of the surrounding community. These scams involve callers falsely identifying themselves as law enforcement officials from surrounding jurisdictions and claiming the recipient is involved in an ongoing criminal investigation and/or legal matter.

In each reported case, the caller attempts to coerce the victim into making a monetary payment to avoid arrest or being named as a suspect in a fictitious investigation.

The UIS Police Department would like to inform you about an upcoming Drone Training Course being hosted by our department. This course is part of our continuing efforts to enhance preparedness through the responsible use of emerging technologies.

Campus community,
