Police Beat • 11/09/2024 - 11/10/2024

Suspicious
A police officer took a delayed report regarding a possibly suspicious male near the Heritage Halls Volleyball Courts. The reporting party was the mother of an individual who had interacted with the suspicious male; she asked dispatch to have the officer call her daughter for additional information. The case was documented for future reference if needed.

Medical
BYU police, BYU EMS, and Provo Fire responded to a medical emergency at the WSC Ballroom, where one of the dancers in the ballroom dance competition was struck in the head. The patient was evaluated and treated by EMTs and was ultimately transported to the hospital by his mother.

Citizen Contact
Officers responded to the Smith Field House after receiving a report of a suspicious male. Upon arrival, they met with the reporting party, who informed them that the male had been filming students who were attending the University of Utah/BYU football game. The students felt uncomfortable with his presence. The male was found sitting in the audience, filming the game on the screen, and appeared to be capturing the audience's reactions as well. However, no suspicious activity was observed.

Welfare Check
The caller reported that a friend was suffering from an emotional and mental crisis and requested that officers respond to assist. It was indicated that the subject may have possibly injured themselves. Officers responded, and the subject was subsequently transported to the emergency room for further treatment and evaluation.

Nuisance
Officers responded to Lot 37, where a large crowd of approximately 4,000 to 6,000 BYU fans awaited the arrival of the football team from a recent away game. Many fans were in the roadway, impeding traffic. Officers escorted the football team's semitruck and buses to the ASB. No injuries or property damage were observed or reported.

Welfare Check
I responded to a report of an emergency button activation at the "south security booth." Upon arriving at the booth, I found it empty and noted that there was no emergency phone in the area. Dispatch advised me that the activation may have originated from a radio. I requested that all security and traffic officers be contacted to ensure that they were not in need of assistance. This was done, and I was informed that there were three officers on duty at the time, all of whom were accounted for and safe.
