WSU Police responded to multiple false alarms on July 12, 2026, including elevator alarms at 1302 NE Cougar Way, 1620 NE Cougar Way, and 1624 NE Cougar Way, all determined to have no emergency.

A gas odor report at 710 SE Chinook Dr. was also investigated, but Pullman Fire confirmed no gas leak was present. Additionally, a lockout at Smith Gym on 1345 NE Cougar Way required officer assistance to unlock an office.

The WSU Police Department's daily log shows these incidents were logged as 'CLO' (closed) or 'ACT' (active) with no further action required. The next day, July 13, the log showed routine patrols and security checks at NRC Dodgen Research.
