Welfare Check A concerned student reported seeing a person sitting by a tree, listening to a speaker and interacting with students passing by while sucking on a pacifier. The person is described as college-aged or older, 5'6", thin, wearing a blue beanie and blue coat, and has a unicorn backpack. The individual was last seen walking toward J Dawgs. An officer checked J Dawgs, the UVX Station, and the three corners of that intersection, but did not find the person.
Welfare Check An officer was dispatched for a welfare check on a student who had sent an email to their teacher’s assistant expressing suicidal ideations. The officer located the student, who agreed to go to BYU Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) for help. The officer provided the student with a ride to CAPS, where they were seen by one of the counselors.
Citizen Contact BYU Police responded to the Music Building regarding a possibly transient female sleeping in the stairwell. Officers located her, but she refused to provide identification. The woman quickly packed her belongings and left the area.
Citizen Contact An employee discovered an email sent to co-workers that defamed their character. The employee is unsure who sent it or why, but they want it to stop. An officer has taken the report and is following up on the information.
Suspicious Person An officer responded to the parking lot of the Tanner building after receiving a report of a suspicious male, dressed in a suit, looking into vehicles. The officer contacted the man, who identified himself as a limousine driver waiting for his passenger who had gone inside the Tanner building. While the officer was talking to him, his passenger came out. No further action was taken.
Stalking An officer contacted a female student who was feeling uncomfortable about messages being sent to her by a male she had met on a dating site and dated a few times. The male’s texts included pictures of her building from outside, and when she asked what he was doing, his response was "Stalking." A few days later, he sent her another picture from outside her building. The female student stated that his texts were making her increasingly uncomfortable. Although she had not explicitly told the male to stop contacting her, she sent him a text to end all contact, as directed by the officer. The officer advised the female student to report immediately if he continued to contact her. The officer then contacted the BYU police victim advocate to reach out to her.
Welfare Check Dispatch was unable to make phone contact with a female who was on a safe walk, so they asked an officer to check on her. While the officer was en route, dispatch informed them that they had successfully reached the female and that she was okay. The officer then canceled the response.
