Welfare Check An officer responded to Lot 41 Helaman Halls to check on a student who reportedly was feeling suicidal a couple of weeks ago. The officers met with the student and their friend. Initially, the student did not want to talk to the officers. The friend said the student made a statement about wanting to harm themselves a couple of weeks ago, and the friend was concerned about them. The student said they did not have a plan to harm themselves.
The student agreed to answer the questions of an on-call BYU CAPS counselor. The CAPS counselor spoke with the student and afterward reported that they developed a safety plan and communicated it to the officers. The CAPS counselor and officers determined the student was not a harm to themselves or others at that time.
Medical An officer responded to the Nichols Building to assist Provo Fire with a medical call. When the officer arrived, they learned the patient was in the adjacent Benson Building. After directing Provo Fire to the patient's area, the officer learned that the patient was working in a lab on the fourth floor and was trying to move solvent from one container. Witnesses stated that the solvent splashed on the patient's face. Provo Fire said the substance could potentially cause second-degree burns, so they obtained consent from the patient and then transported them to Utah Valley Hospital. BYU Risk Management was informed of the incident and arrived on the scene.
