On Thursday, April 24, 2025, Orem police hosted the fourth-annual Picnic With Police at City Center Park to build trust with families of special needs individuals.

Department psychologist Kamryn Wilson organized the event to include games, ice cream and volleyball—helping officers learn how to better de-escalate future crisis situations.

An Orem man named Eric Nathantiel Whitaker was charged with 75 first-degree felony counts for manufacturing or possessing a weapon of mass destruction after officers found dozens of explosive devices in his home—he was scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday, April 29 at 3 p.m. and is held without bail pending a pretrial hearing.

UDOT will widen Geneva Road south of University Parkway in Orem—adding an extra lane in each direction, a center turn lane, sidewalks, and bike lanes as part of a $34 million project.
