Officers responded to a door-held-open alarm at the ESC. Dispatch reported a student seen on video leaving the building with the door not closing behind them. Officers located the door ajar, secured it properly, and no further action was necessary.
Alarm
A violated door alarm for door #10 was reported. The door was found to be shut and securely closed. Despite several unsuccessful attempts to clear the alarm, dispatch was advised of the situation, and a work order was subsequently placed for further action.
Lost Property
A BYU officer responded to SFH regarding a possible stolen or lost Segway. The complainant explained that they had left their Segway leaning against an identical one without locking it, assuming they wouldn’t be long inside. Video footage showed a male leaving SFH, approaching the identical Segway, and without hesitation, getting on it and leaving. Officers tracked the individual to the gym entrance, where they contacted him. The subject believed he had unlocked his Segway, but after discussing the situation, he agreed to return with the Segway. When he returned, officers observed that his Segway was still locked; he apologized, unlocked it, and left. The officer then contacted the complainant and returned their Segway.
Robbery Alarm
A report from BYU Security prompted BYU Police Officers to respond to the Creamery on Ninth after a panic robbery alarm was triggered. However, upon arrival and investigation, officers found that the cameras indicated no suspicious activity and confirmed that no robbery was in progress. It was determined that the cashier had accidentally pressed the panic button, which was later reset by officers.
Suspicious Circumstance
A complainant reported hearing what she believed to be a gunshot and requested officers to check the area. Officers conducted a thorough search but observed nothing suspicious, heard no additional gunshot sounds, and received no reports of any disturbances from others. After the check, the complainant was informed that nothing suspicious was found, and she appreciated the officers' efforts in checking the area.

A BYU PD officer was contacted via email by a student who believed they had backed their car into another vehicle and was seeking to identify the owner. Despite efforts, no video footage was available in the area, and the other vehicle could not be located.
Fire Alarm
The fire alarm at the Merrill Building in Helaman Halls apartments was triggered by smoke from residents cooking in the basement rec room kitchen. It was confirmed there was no fire, only smoke caused by a sheet pan with bacon grease. The alarm was silenced, but despite waiting for fire technicians, none arrived, and dispatch was unable to contact them to reset and check the alarm system.

The patient's mother, monitoring her remotely, was concerned about a low blood sugar reading and her daughter's unresponsiveness to calls. Officers contacted the patient, who stated she felt fine. EMS checked her vitals, which were normal, and determined the monitor's reading was likely inaccurate due to improper placement.

Theft
Officers responded to a report of theft in the 2nd floor weight room at Smith Field House, where a student’s wallet was stolen. Video evidence revealed a suspect stealing from multiple wallets in the gym’s cubby area. The suspect was identified, contacted, and admitted to taking the money. He was also linked to a previous theft case from last week. The suspect was charged with two counts of theft and released, with ongoing efforts to identify additional victims.
Property Damage
A police officer returned a call to a complainant who witnessed a male driver backing his car into a traffic bollard in the parking lot of the Joseph Smith Building on BYU campus. Both the vehicle and the bollard appeared damaged from the impact, and the vehicle then left the scene. The complainant provided a license plate number, which suggested the vehicle was operated by a delivery person. Currently, there is limited suspect information available.
Medical – AED Alarm
An officer responded to the CSC after an AED alarm was triggered. The shift supervisor explained that the AED box had been accidentally knocked off the wall by a cart. Upon inspecting the box, the supervisor attempted to remount it, but the alarm continued to sound. The supervisor notified their manager of the incident, and the officer requested dispatch to submit a service request for the AED box to be remounted on the wall.
Suspicious
Officers responded to the Wilkinson Center following a report of a suspicious male possibly filming or photographing students dancing in the ballroom. The male had left the area before officers arrived. After a thorough search of the building, he was not located. Several students were interviewed, and none recalled seeing the male do anything beyond watching the dance. The building was checked a second time, but the individual was not found.
Found Property
While at the Wilkinson Center on another call, a wallet was discovered on a chair with no one nearby. Inside, there was a student ID and a contact phone number. After leaving a voicemail, the owner returned the call, confirming they were at home and hadn't noticed the wallet was missing. The wallet was then taken to the student's residence and successfully returned.

Lost Property
During a grounds key audit, a complainant reported a missing BYU key (6583). The key was allegedly issued to the complainant; however, she does not recall ever possessing it. She mentioned using her ID to access the gate at the ISB, which the missing key was intended to open. The missing key was identified during the audit, and the complainant was provided with a police case number for further reference. No additional details regarding the loss were available.
Agency Assist
On February 24, 2026, at approximately 2015 hours, an officer was dispatched to investigate a late reported injury accident involving an electric scooter and a vehicle. Upon review, the officer determined the incident actually occurred at the intersection of 900 East and Campus Lane which is Provo Police jurisdiction. The complainant had exchanged contact information with the vehicle driver, who had already compensated the individual for damages to the scooter.
Unconscious
A BYU officer and BYU EMS were dispatched to the LSB for a subject who had passed out. Both units were canceled before arrival by dispatch. The complainant later called back to report that the individual was awake and declined medical assistance.
Suspicious
BYU officers responded to the MPS after a vehicle was seen parked in the picnic area. Upon arrival, they contacted the driver and a friend, who were unaware they were on private property. After checking for wants and warrants—everything was clear—the officers asked them to leave. The subjects complied and departed without incident.

Abandoned Vehicle
A complainant reported two abandoned vehicles, an older Jeep Cherokee with expired registration and a homemade truck bed trailer—parked side by side in the Wymount Terrace parking lot between units 9 and 10. Both vehicles have semi-flat tires and debris around them, indicating they haven't been moved in some time. The Jeep has a parking ticket from December 2025, but the owner has not responded to contact attempts. The complainant expressed frustration over the vehicles occupying limited parking spaces and noted that BYU parking and the housing authority have declined to take action, citing low priority. It was explained that without a request from housing, the vehicles cannot be tagged or towed on private property. The complainant plans to follow up with housing again.
Property Damage
A report was filed regarding damage to a drinking fountain on the 1st floor of the ESC annex. An officer responded to the scene and contacted building maintenance. Damage was observed, and photos were taken and attached to the incident report. Security camera footage is currently being reviewed as part of the investigation.
Welfare Check
A BYU officer responded to a welfare check at the RB after a complainant reported a seemingly sad and unresponsive individual. Upon contact, the subject stated they were fine, wanted to be alone, and did not wish to speak with CAPS or express any suicidal thoughts. A friend arrived, sat with the individual, and the subject indicated a preference to speak with their friend, requesting the officer to leave. The officer then stepped back and waited nearby. Later, both the subject and friend confirmed that everything was okay and that they would reach out if they needed assistance.
Duress Alarm
Officers responded to a duress alarm at the Taylor Building on BYU campus. Upon arrival, they found the reception area unoccupied and were unable to determine the cause of the alarm. No suspicious activity was observed.
