The next community meeting at Ingleside Station will be held on November 19, 2013. Thank you.
Outstanding Police Work: Members of the Ingleside Police Station have been hard at work, while putting their lives on the line, and recovered a total of five guns between a five day period, beginning Oct 31, 2013 to Nov 5, 2013. Among the weapons recovered were three handguns, one shotgun and one Tech-9 sub-machine gun all stemming from four separate incidents. Of the five subjects taken into custody, two were on probation and had extensive police records. We strongly believe that these great arrests may have prevented some serious crimes from taking place. Thanks to these great officers, the streets are a little saferJ.

Reminder: With Daylight Savings in effect as of Nov. 3rd. The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission has introduced a useful way to report broken/flickering streetlights. If you happen to be walking along and come across a broken or burned out streetlight, use the new app or call “311” to report it. Keeping the streets lit a night, especially now that it’s getting darker a lot sooner, can increase visibility and help to reduce crime. The following information below will make it easier for you to report faulty streetlights:
Phone it in: City’s new “StreetLightsSF” phone app
The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission unveiled a new Smartphone application that allows cell phone users to report burned out and broken street lights anywhere in San Francisco from the convenience of their own phone. The new application, called StreetLightsSF, lets the user pinpoint the locations of faulty streetlights by “dragging-and-dropping” a locating pin on a map and send the information to 311. The app also allows the user to track the status of repair efforts; and streamlines the process for reporting malfunctioning streetlights to the agency that is responsible for their repair and maintenance (the majority of non-City-owned street lights are owned, maintained, and operated by PG&E). The StreetLightsSF application is compatible with iOS and Android smart phones and can be downloaded from the Apple and Android stores and also at sfwater.org (go to “Customer Service” and then select “Report a Problem”).
The San Francisco Neighborhood Emergency Response Team (NERT) is free training from the San Francisco Fire Department in how to help yourself and your neighbors prepare for and respond to a disaster by working together.

What is the A.L.E.R.T. Program?
The San Francisco Police Department has developed a volunteer citizen disaster preparedness program. The Auxiliary Law Enforcement Response Team (ALERT) is modeled after and works in partnership with the San Francisco Fire Department's Neighborhood Emergency Response Team (NERT). The ALERT program will train members of the public to assist law enforcement in essential tasks after a major disaster. Such tasks may include: traffic control, foot patrol of business and residential areas, and reporting criminal activity. Volunteers must be at least 16 years of age and live, work, or attend high school in San Francisco.

Call the police.Arrests:
3:53pm 5000 Blk Mission Firearm
A routine traffic stop of a vehicle with a non-functioning brake light led to a significant arrest. Ingleside Officers Fulgado and Johnson were on routine patrol when they spotted a White Nissan traveling southbound on Mission with a broken brake light. The officers decided to stop the vehicle to advise the occupants to fix the non-functioning brake light. After stopping the vehicle, the driver provided the officers with his license and the vehicle registration and insurance. A computer check revealed that the driver was on probation with a warrantless search condition. Because the vehicle contained two other occupants besides the driver, Officers Fulgado and Johnson requested additional units and Ingleside Officers Padilla and Sullivan, who were nearby, responded. Officer Fulgado asked the driver to exit the vehicle for a search and he complied. He then asked the woman, the front seat passenger, to exit the vehicle and she complied while taking her purse with her. Officer Johnson asked her to leave her purse in the car because of officer safety concerns, and she resisted saying, “Why, I’m not on probation”. Officer Johnson explained why and she finally agreed to leave the purse on the front passenger seat. At this point, Ingleside Officers Trail and Uang arrived and they removed the third passenger from the back seat. The female passenger kept insisting that her purse didn’t need to be searched because she had done nothing wrong. But Officer Johnson explained that officer security required the car to be completely searched. When Officer Johnson picked up the purse she noticed it was particularly heavy. When she looked inside the purse she saw a sub-machine gun with a large magazine capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition along with a valid driver’s license, a medical marijuana card, two prescription bottles containing marijuana, a cell phone, and miscellaneous items. All the items were booked into evidence and the three occupants were taken to Ingleside Station for further questioning. The driver and rear passenger were booked for probation violation and the female passenger for possession of an illegal firearm. Case number: 130936721
11:49pm 4100 Blk Mission Resisting Arrest
Ingleside Officers Pereira and Gonzalez were searching for possible robbery suspects in the area when they noticed two men standing on the corner of Mission and Trumbull. One man, who was on parole, had a metal pipe protruding from his front pocket of his sweatshirt. He was asked if he had any other weapons and he said, “No”. However, a search revealed a pocket knife in his right front pants pocket. When asked to sit on the sidewalk he refused and became combative and both officers had to use physical force to place him in handcuffs. He was charged with resisting arrest, and parole violations. The other man was released. Case number: 130937638
Serious Incidents:
10:34am 600 Blk Silver Assault
A woman who didn’t want anyone sitting next to her is a suspect, along with her boy friend, in a violent assault. The victim told Ingleside Officers Chang, Rand, and Adams that he boarded the #44 Muni bus at Silver and San Bruno and walked toward the rear when he spotted an open seat by the rear doors that were occupied by a woman taking up the whole seat. He asked politely, “Is this seat taken?”, and the woman replied, “Yeah, my boyfriend”, and the victim replied, “Your boyfriend?”, before walking towards the end of the coach. Suddenly, he told the officers, he felt a punch on the back of his head and he fell down into one of the rear seats. He said he was continually beaten until the suspect and the female fled the bus at Silver and Congdon. The victim was treated for numerous lacerations by medics at the scene. Case number: 130935682
