Additional Alarms and Lockouts
Officers responded to multiple other alarms and lockouts on campus during this reporting period.

Suspicious
The complainant was suspicious of salespeople visiting her apartment today. They had scheduled the appointment by phone earlier in the week, but her suspicions grew when they claimed to be giving away a free child protection kit while actually selling life insurance, which she did not see as related. She canceled the appointment, and they left without any issues; however, she remained concerned that it might be a scam company. The company's name is American Income Life Insurance. The officer was able to look up the business online, and it appeared legitimate, advertising a free child protection kit. She had not provided any personal information to the company and had no obligation to them, so she was advised that they could be trespassed from her residence if necessary. She indicated that she would contact us again if the company became a problem.

Fire Alarm
An officer responded to a fire alarm at Wymount Terrace, Building 17B. Upon arrival, the officer met with the resident, who explained that he had left a frying pan with oil on the stove while making dinner. The pan became too hot and started smoking, triggering the alarm. During the conversation, the officer did not observe any damage to the apartment. Risk management and the electric shop were notified of the incident
