A guy on a team that I worked on detected one of those devices and called the university police (we were a tenant in a university building), who laughed, and then proceeded to methodically and politely walk the hierarchy of agencies with jurisdiction (sheriff, city police, state police, FBI field office, FCC, etc). I believe he called a member of Congress as well.

Eventually somebody figured out that he wasn’t going away, and a couple of very pleasant guys popped in and dropped off their business cards. They told him it wouldn’t be a problem anymore and to give them a call if it became a problem again.

End of the day, if someone is creating interference, they need to stop. If you have the time and inclination, complain and they will.

Since it took me a minute to parse: the guy on the team, not the university police, was the one who walked the hierarchy?

I'm not sure which way to interpret this, your username might check out after all.
