Are BYU police slow?
Posted in Insightson Jun 2, 2009
I’m noticing a trend in BYU’s police beats:
June 2:
- “When University Police arrived, they found no one suspicious on the hill.”
- “Officers couldn’t find anything upon arrival.”
- “ The man was gone when an officer arrived.”
- “The men were gone when officers arrived.”
- “The male was gone when a university police officer arrived.”
May 27:
- “Officers were unable to locate him upon arrival.”
May 19:
- “ No suspects were found when officers arrived.”
- “They were gone when officers arrived.”
- “Officers could not find the woman or her children.”
Are BYU police just slow at arriving to the scene? Usually the suspect is gone by the time officers arrive. Here is a case where the suspect is found before officers arrive:
An athlete was missing from the NCAA track at the Special Olympics but was found before officers arrived at the site.

I’ve been noticing the exact same thing, and was wondering just that. A lot of the time they arrive on scene and the person of interest or suspect is gone on arrival. I think they don’t arrive nearly fast enough and it should be looked into why.

University Police suck! Their sole existance is to collect revenue for their department by issueing fines to students. Wait that’s not fair…they also direct traffic sometimes…
