Medical
An officer responded to a medical call at the Missionary Training Center. BYU EMS and Provo Fire arrived to treat the patient. The MTC doctor requested that Provo Fire and EMS transport the patient to Utah Valley Hospital. The patient was then taken to the hospital, and no further action was required.

Accident - Pedestrian vs Scooter
A female BYU student was struck from behind by a male on a motorized scooter while walking on the sidewalk near the Marriott Center. The collision caused the student to fall onto the sidewalk, injuring her face and arms. The male scooter rider also crashed and was stunned. Despite the severity of the incident, witnesses assist both parties, but neither call the police nor medical services. The female student, shaken and in shock, eventually seeks medical attention at the Wilkinson Center, Student Health Center, and Revere Health, where she is diagnosed with fractures in both elbows. The case is under further investigation.

Welfare Check
An officer was dispatched to the Broadcast Building because dispatch couldn't reach the security student to check on her. Upon arrival, the officer found that the security guard had forgotten to take her radio with her during a foot patrol.

Information
While working at the men's volleyball game, an officer was asked to assist athletics with a fan suspected of making inappropriate comments toward the Hawaii volleyball team's players. The officer positioned himself behind the fan, who was making remarks that concerned both the players and their coach. After the officer's intervention, no further incident occurred.

Fire Alarm
A false fire alarm was triggered at Merrill Hall when a student accidentally pulled the hand pull alarm after tripping. The building was evacuated, but upon investigation, it was determined that there was no actual fire emergency. The officer reset the alarm and silenced it, and the scene was cleared with no further action required.

Medical
During a men's volleyball game, an officer was assigned to assist the officials. The head official began to show concerning symptoms. Feeling unwell and appearing flushed, weak, and pale while on the platform, she was carefully assisted off for evaluation. Provo Fire and BYU personnel promptly arrived, conducted their assessment, and confirmed the initial findings. After being evaluated, the official's husband transported her home for further care.
