Many a student has chuckled over the usually humorous, and sometimes bizarre, stories in the BYU Police Beat over the years. But for a few students, the Police Beat is more than just a collection of laughable, criminal misdeeds — it is a gold mine of material worthy of its own sitcom. Four BYU students have staked their claim in this rich vein, and on Sept. 4, the “BYU Police Beat” web series was officially launched on YouTube.
The idea for the web series came about when film major Reagan Frey approached his friend David Miller about turning the Police Beat into a series.
