Weekly Incident Report Digest

There were several incidents reported in the last week, in Bio-Med and in Wilson

In Bio-Med, there was an incident on 1/28 involving a noisy group of patrons who eventually quieted down after a couple of warnings. Also, on 2/1, an attempted theft of a laptop was reported. UMPD was called and interviewed the patron who reported the incident.

In Wilson, there were incident reports involving facilities issues ranging from water problems to littering. On 1/29, a patron reported that some personal items had been stolen from a study carrel. The patron spoke with a security monitor. On 1/31, UMPD were called to investigate a patron who fit the description of an individual who had been trespassed. After observing the individual, police officers spoke with him and ID'd him. He was not the same person who had been trespassed. Officers said they were happy to check out potential trespassers any time.

Security monitor training sessions were completed last week. Many thanks to Dan Farrar, the security monitor supervisor, and to all library staff who participated in the trainings. Be sure to say hello to security monitors in your building.

-- Matt Bowers, Library Safety and Security Coordinator
