Good Job BYU Police Officers assisted an international student who arrived on Christmas Day for an early check-in at Helaman Halls. His email instructions provided a phone number, but he was not able to get an answer. After wandering around Helaman Halls for a few hours he began walking the central campus to find someone to help him. He saw a BYU Police Officer and waved him down. After several phone calls, the officer was able to put him in touch with the right person to get him checked into his dorm. A BYU Police Sergeant then assisted in getting this student checked in and familiar with his dorm and drove him around campus for a short tour.
