How the first alert is built
To check this alert, SuperGrok Heavy 4.5 (an AI) read it in full 25 separate times, independently. Each read decided whether the message answers each of the six questions and gave a short reason. A final reviewer then weighed all 25 and wrote the plain-English verdict you see when you open a row. The score (for example 22/25) is how many reads agreed; the 25 individual reads are tucked underneath if you want to check them.
August 25, 2026 In the interest of safety, the University of Kentucky Police Department has issued the following Crime Bulletin for the UK community. The UK Police Department (UKPD) has received multiple reports of electric scooters stolen from bike racks near residence halls on Sports Center Drive. At least three electric scooter thefts were reported between Aug. 22 and Aug. 24. While these thefts occurred along Sports Center Drive, please ensure your electric scooters are secured properly, no matter where you are on campus. UKPD is investigating these cases to identify potential suspects linked to these recent thefts. If you have any information regarding recent electric scooter thefts, please contact UK Police at 859-257-UKPD (8573). The University of Kentucky values a safe community for all students, staff, faculty and visitors. In the interest of promoting a safe and secure campus environment, UK Police offers the following safety precautions: - Securely lock your bikes and electric scooters to designated campus bike racks using high-quality U-Locks.

UK Transportation Services encourages all students and employees to obtain a bicycle permit at no cost to help deter theft. Register your ride today. - Call UKPD at 859-257-UKPD (8573) if you have any property stolen on campus. - If you see something, say something.

Guidancepresent25/25
Final assessment
Lock with U-Locks, call UKPD, and dial 911 are recipient instructions.
The protective action to take. A clear, specific instruction, such as shelter in place, evacuate, avoid the area, or run-hide-fight, drives faster and more correct protective behavior than describing the threat alone.

Impactabsent0/25
Final assessment
No harm or severity such as dangerous is stated.
What the hazard could do to the people in its path. Beyond naming the threat, a complete warning conveys its potential consequences or severity, such as that a tornado can level buildings or that a leak could be explosive, so recipients grasp how much danger they are in. Research on warning message content finds that a concrete impact statement helps people personalize their risk and act sooner.
