Lost Property An officer was asked to contact the complainant regarding a lost laptop at the Maeser Building. The officer made phone contact with the complainant, who explained that he last saw his laptop at the Maeser Building on December 13, 2024, at 11:30 AM. Officers checked the Maeser Building and other locations but were unable to locate the laptop.

The complainant was provided with a case number and was told to call back and speak with the on-duty officer if he was unable to locate the laptop on Monday.
Information A caller from the southwest side of Provo City contacted Provo Police dispatch to report seeing lights in the area of Y Mountain and/or Maple Mountain. The call was transferred to BYU Police, and an officer was dispatched to the Y trailhead area to attempt contact with hikers who may have needed assistance. The officer contacted the caller, who reported that the lights—possibly from headlamps, flashlights, or vehicle headlights—were seen further south than Y Mountain and closer to Forest Service or Utah County land. This information was relayed to Central Dispatch for dissemination to the appropriate law enforcement agencies. It is believed that the call was transferred to BYU Police because the caller used Y Mountain as a reference point to describe the location of the lights. The BYU officer at the Y Mountain trailhead did not observe anyone in need of assistance, and no additional calls or information were reported or dispatched by any parties. There was no indication of any persons in need or otherwise.
Trespassing An officer was dispatched to the Miller Baseball Complex to investigate a trespassing violation. According to a witness, a group of young students was on top of the scoreboard. Upon arrival, the officer observed six individuals on the scoreboard. The officer requested that they get down and then verified their student IDs to confirm their status on campus. All of them had identification except for one student. They were informed to stay away from areas closed to the public. No other violations of concern were observed during the officer’s interactions with them.
Nuisance Officers were dispatched to the central area of Heritage Halls in response to a report of a vehicle and individuals playing loud music. Upon arrival, the officers patrolled the area and observed many people and groups; however, they did not find a vehicle parked on the sidewalk or in the surrounding vicinity. The officers also patrolled the interior and perimeter of Heritage Halls but detected no criminal or suspicious activity.
Welfare Check An officer was asked to investigate a possible welfare check on an individual walking near the south entrance of the library. The suspect was described by the witness as a 5'10" Black male with a short beard, behaving as if he were looking for a place to sleep. During my patrol of the area, I did not locate anyone matching the description.
Keep the Peace An officer was dispatched to keep the peace at Heritage Halls between two roommates while one of them moved out. The officers on scene encountered no issues as the roommates moved their belongings.
