The officer documented the incident by collecting photos and obtaining insurance information from the complainant.
Fraud A complainant visited the police department to file a report after being contacted by DMBA Insurance regarding multiple claims on his account originating from New York.

Welfare Check A law enforcement officer responded to a welfare check at the request of a reporting party, who observed a female sleeping on a bench. Upon arrival, the officer met with the adult female, who appeared to have minor foot injuries but declined any assistance.

Fire – Alarm An officer was dispatched to Budge Hall in response to a reported fire alarm. Upon arrival, the officer did not hear any audible alarm and proceeded to investigate. In the building’s basement, the officer located the main alarm panel and discovered active flooding in the area. It was determined that the HVAC shop was conducting repairs at the time and was unable to stop the flooding during their work. A fire technician later arrived on the scene and identified that the issue stemmed from a flood monitor that had been incorrectly programmed to trigger a fire alarm instead of a flood alarm. The technician confirmed they would correct the programming error.
Found Property An officer was contacted by the housing manager at Wyview, a BYU Housing facility, regarding items found after tenants moved out of the apartments.

The officer responded, took digital photographs of the medications for documentation, and properly disposed of the property at a local CVS Pharmacy drop box. The cigarettes and lighter were also discarded at the same location.
Fire – Alarm An officer was dispatched to the LVES in response to a fire alarm.
