Accident An officer responded to Lot 22 to investigate a traffic accident. A BYU work truck had backed into a parked car, resulting in minor damage. The officer assisted the two drivers in exchanging information and completed a non-reportable accident report.
Disturbance The officer responded to a report, reported 30 minutes late, regarding a student who was repeatedly interrupting a class. Although the officer was unable to locate the student, he called and left a message. Additionally, the officer contacted the Office of Belonging and the Dean of Students, both of whom are already aware of the situation and will attempt to arrange a meeting with the student.
Suspicious BYU Dispatch received an online report about a suspicious person near Heritage Building 11. The report noted, "There was a guy behind the dumpsters just chilling there and watching people walk out of their dorms." An officer responded and contacted the individual, who turned out to be a BYU Grounds employee with autism. The employee was working near the dumpsters, picking up trash, and taking a break. I also left a message for the complainant.
Medical Officers responded to the Joseph F. Smith Building for a medical emergency. The patient was medically cleared by both BYU EMS and Provo Fire. The patient left with family. There was limited information released regarding the patient.
Accident Hit-and-Run An officer took a report of a hit-and-run accident in Lot #39. The vehicle was parked and unoccupied when another vehicle, parked nearby, backed into it, causing damage. Although there was only a minor scratch on the bumper, it is worth noting that the vehicle is a new 2024 model. Unfortunately, there are no surveillance cameras covering that area, and no suspect vehicle information is currently available.
Animal Problem A student reported that two kittens were unattended in a flower box near the administration building. An officer met with the complainant and explained that there are several wild or stray cats on campus, including multiple kittens, which are often seen in the area. The officer checked on the kittens, determined that they were fine, and observed them running off when approached.
Citizen Assist A complainant forgot his backpack, which contained his computer, in the Cougar Room at Lavell Edwards Stadium. He requested that an officer retrieve it, as he will come to the police station tomorrow to pick it up. The officer located the backpack, and it is now at the station for the complainant to collect. This information will be passed on to the day shift crew.
