Officers responded to a complaint of a group of males in a vehicle honking and shining a laser light through the windows of residents while they were attempting to sleep. Officers checked the area, located the suspect vehicle, and contacted the occupants. The individuals were cooperative, acknowledged their actions, and apologized for the disturbance. They left the area without further incident, and no additional problems were reported.
Welfare Check
Officers responded to Lot 32 after receiving a report of a male wearing green scrubs and orange gloves lying on the ground near the south entrance of the third floor of the parking structure. Officers thoroughly checked the area but were unable to locate anyone matching the description. After a search of the area yielded negative results, officers cleared the call.
Gas Smell
An officer responded to a reported gas leak in the USB kitchen. Upon arrival, Provo Fire determined that employees had moved a stove away from the wall for cleaning, which stretched the gas line and caused a small leak. The gas supply to the stove was shut off, and a Physical Facilities employee was notified to complete the necessary repairs. The incident was determined to be accidental, and no further action was required
Medical
Officers responded to the west entrance of the JKB on a report of a female experiencing an unknown medical issue. The responding officer had previously assisted the same individual two days earlier and was familiar with her situation. BYU EMS arrived on scene and provided care until the patient became fully coherent. The patient did not require any further medical assistance, and the incident was resolved without additional action
Lost Property
An officer took a report of a lost diamond ring. The student reported that the ring may have been lost in the Tanner Building, although it could have been misplaced elsewhere on or off campus. The ring was described as a gold band with a 2-carat marquise-cut diamond and an estimated value of approximately $5,000. The officer gathered the available information and completed a report for documentation purposes.
Fall
A 66-year-old male experienced a ground-level fall and reported pain in his hip and wrist. Provo EMS and BYU EMS responded to evaluate the individual. After assessment, BYU EMS obtained a wheelchair and assisted the male back to his vehicle. No further assistance was requested.

The individual, an employee assisting with setup for ESPN GameDay, reported that several metal floor beams had slid and struck him in the head.

Theft

Fire Alarm
An officer responded to a fire alarm at the HCEB. Upon arrival, the officer found the building had been evacuated and detected a strong burnt odor throughout the area. No smoke or active fire was observed; however, the source of the odor was determined to be a burnt bag of microwave popcorn in a room where the smell was the strongest. The bag was removed, an employee reset the alarm system.
Medical – Knee Sprain
An officer responded with Provo Paramedics to Room 156 of the RB for an injury that occurred during an intramural basketball game.

CO – Alarm
BYU Police and Provo Fire were dispatched to a carbon monoxide (CO) alarm in Wyview Park. Provo Fire tested the air and initially detected a CO level of 37 parts per million. After opening the windows and ventilating the apartment, the CO reading dropped to zero. As a precaution, the Fire Department requested a response from the gas company, and BYU Facilities personnel responded to help identify the source of the gas.
Nuisance
Officers responded to a report of a possible car alarm sounding near the Westview Building. Upon arrival, no audible alarms were detected in the area. At approximately the same time as this call, alarm testing was being conducted in the JFSB, and it is possible that the reported alarm was associated with that testing.
Accident – Hit & Run
A student reported a delayed hit-and-run collision that occurred sometime the previous day in a West Campus parking lot. The complainant stated that an unknown vehicle appeared to have sideswiped their car, causing minor damage. No note was left at the scene, and there were no security cameras covering the area. Currently, there is no suspect vehicle or driver information available. The incident is under investigation, and a report has been completed.
Welfare Check
An officer responded to a welfare check involving a individual who had sent an alarming text message to the complainant. Officers contacted the individual and confirmed that they were not a danger to themselves or others. Resource information was provided.
Lost Property
An officer was dispatched to make phone contact with a complainant who wanted to report a lost passport. The officer contacted the complainant, who reported that they had located the passport and that no further action was necessary.
Medical

BYU EMS and Provo EMS responded to the scene, evaluated the student, and provided treatment. After assessment, the student was released at the scene and did not require further medical attention.

Medical
A female student was involved in a scooter accident and sustained a laceration to her chin. Officers responded and found that the student was alert and receiving assistance. BYU EMS evaluated and treated the injury at the scene, providing the necessary medical care. Due to the nature of the injury, the student was transported to the Student Health Center for further evaluation and treatment.
Robbery Alarm
Robbery alarm at room 3219, south concessions, at the Marriott Center. Employees admitted they had accidentally bumped the alarm button and there were no problems.
Accident
A traffic collision occurred in the east parking lot of LaVell Edwards Stadium. Vehicle #1 was traveling southbound through the primary parking lot access lane, while Vehicle #2 was traveling eastbound in a collector aisle. As Vehicle #2 entered the intersection where the collector aisle met the primary traffic lane, the two vehicles collided. Officers responded to the scene, documented the accident, and gathered the necessary information from the parties involved. No injuries were reported by either driver or any occupants. Both vehicles sustained damage, and the incident was documented for insurance and reporting purposes
Accident
An officer observed a minor traffic accident in the parking lot of the Jesse Knight Building on BYU campus. The involved drivers stopped and exchanged information following the collision. Upon contact, both parties indicated they did not require police assistance and wished to handle the matter privately without a formal police report. The officer observed no visible damage to either vehicle and no injuries were reported by the drivers or any occupants. As both parties declined police involvement and the incident met the criteria for a non-reportable accident, no further action was taken, and the officer cleared the scene.
Unconscious
Officers responded to Room 177 in the RB after a dancer was found unconscious by building staff. Staff advised that the patient had a known medical history of similar episodes and provided relevant information to responders. The patient's father, who works in the RB, was contacted and responded to assist.
Accident
An officer took a report over the phone of a minor traffic accident involving a BYU-owned vehicle and a parked vehicle. The driver of the BYU van accidentally scraped the side of the parked vehicle, causing minor damage. The student driver's supervisor reported the incident to Risk Management, and the involved parties exchanged insurance information. This was a minor accident, and a report was completed for documentation purposes.
Theft
An officer responded to a delayed report of a stolen scooter. The reporting party stated she parked her Gotrax scooter outside the Benson Building at approximately 1600 hours on 10/6 and discovered it missing when she returned about 45 minutes later. Surveillance footage was reviewed; however, no cameras covered the area where the scooter had been parked. Officers also checked the area, but the scooter was not located. The case was documented as a theft.
Gas Smell
Officers responded to the Brewster Building near the automotive shop for a report of a possible natural gas leak. The reporting party stated a strong gas odor was coming from the bay area and an adjacent entrance. Officers attempted to contact the on-call building supervisor and risk management supervisor but were unable to reach either individual. As a precaution, Provo Fire responded and inspected the building. After their assessment, they determined there was no gas leak and that the odor was most likely caused by spilled hydraulic fluid.
Seizures
A student custodial employee working in the Hinckley Building experienced a seizure while on duty. Another employee called for assistance, and BYU EMS and Provo Fire responded to assess the individual and provide medical aid. The individual was later transported by ambulance to Utah Valley Hospital for further evaluation and treatment.
Accident
Officers responded to a two-vehicle traffic accident near 780 E University Parkway. The driver of Vehicle 1 was attempting to make a left turn from the Marriott Center parking lot to travel westbound on University Parkway when she failed to yield to oncoming traffic and collided with Vehicle 2, which was traveling eastbound in the number one lane. As a result of the collision, Vehicle 1 became disabled in the roadway and was towed from the scene. The driver of Vehicle 1 was cited for failure to yield the right-of-way while making a left turn
Welfare Check
Officers were dispatched to the area to check on a report of an individual lying in Parking Lot 53, south of the Taylor Building. Officers searched the area but were unable to locate anyone matching the description. The case was deemed unfounded.
