The police station called to verify the residence information.

Legal analysis: When a police station calls to verify the residential information registered in a residential area, it must first determine the source of the telephone number. Under normal circumstances, the police station will use the office phone to verify the residents' situation, which is what we usually call the landline. If it is determined to be verified by the public security organ, it shall cooperate; But if it's a mobile phone number, you should be vigilant. It may be a fraudulent phone call. Usually, the police station sometimes checks the population information of the people in its jurisdiction, which is the normal work of the police station. It is generally not a crime for public security police to inquire about citizens' personal information according to legal procedures, because the work nature of public security police is quite special. Public security police can inquire about citizens' personal information almost anytime and anywhere, and they basically don't need instructions when inquiring about citizens' personal information, but it is illegal for public security police to disclose people's personal information.
