You didn't give many details, but it is illegal for an educational institution to release your SSN under most instances. You are covered under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA; http://www.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/index.html). Unless the police had a subpoena, or there was imminent danger to someone, they were probably wrong. Check with a lawyer.
