Crime Alert: Glen Park BART Station and surrounding area; A recent trend in robberies are occurring where suspect(s) are running up behind an unsuspecting victim and proceed to shove or push them to the ground and then forcefully take their cell phone, MP3 player and/or other valuable belongings. If you happen to see what may seem like a fight taking place on the street, it could actually be a robbery taking place. Immediately call (415) 553-8090 from your cell phone or “911” from a landline. Ingleside Police Officers are stepping up their efforts and increasing patrol to the area as well as sending our plain clothes officers to conduct surveillance. Remember, report any crime that you see taking place or anything that looks suspicious.


Weather related safety; Due to the inclement weather involving high winds, there have been numerous downed power lines and fallen tree limbs throughout the city. If there is a power line down in your neighborhood, for your own safety, do not approach it and stay a safe distance away while calling “911”.  Our headquarters will dispatch officers as well as the appropriate department to come out and assess the situation and repair the damage. If there is a fallen tree limb, call “311” and request DPW (Department of Public Works) to come out and handle the hazard. Also, be sure to look up to see if there are any broken tree limbs that are hanging from the tree that can pose a threat to people and/or property. Call “311” immediately.


Public Safety; In light of recent events at the Boston marathon, the police department will be increasing patrols in areas where the public gather including special events. If you see a suspicious package that does not look right or does not belong in the area, do not investigate it yourself. Create a safe distance between you and the suspicious package and do not use your cell phone to call the police. Use a landline to call “911” and provide your location and if possible the description of the package. Officers will be dispatched to assess the situation and take the appropriate action.

Ingleside Officer Hermosura was stopped at a Red light at the intersection of Phelan and Ocean Avenues, when he noticed a Brown van stopped in the lane to his right. When the light turned Green, Officer Hermosura turned onto Eastbound Geneva Avenue while the van moved quickly in front of his patrol car and made an illegal and dangerous left turn onto Ocean Avenue. Officer Hermosura followed the van a short distance and attempted to pull the vehicle over by turning on his emergency lights and siren. The driver of the van quickly sped away at a high rate of speed Eastbound on Ocean Avenue and collided with two Eastbound vehicles before stopping near the Northbound onramp to highway #280. Officer Hermosura drove to the intersection, exited his patrol car and, with his weapon drawn, ordered the driver of the van out of the vehicle. Additional Ingleside officers arrived and placed the suspect in handcuffs. Three ambulances responded to the scene and treated the six occupants of the two cars damaged in the collision for various minor injuries. The two vehicles hit by the van suffered major damage.
