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.

Luckily, the resident did not fall for the scam and immediately hung up. If you happen to get a suspicious phone call like this or something similar, DO NOT give out any of your personal information.

10:10pm 200 Blk Cortland Attempted Robbery
A silent alarm alerted police to a potential robbery. When Ingleside Officers Contreras, Hermosura, and Sgt. Smith arrived and spoke to the clerk, who told them that a thin woman, wearing a grey sweatshirt, entered the store and said, “I have a gun. Give me all your money”. The startled clerk responded, “Really?” “Yes, really, you want to see my gun?” said the robber. The clerk realized the suspect was serious and pushed her silent hold up alarm and told the suspect, the police were on their way. The suspect ran out of the store and tried to get in a cab but the clerk yelled to the cab driver, “Don’t take her, she just tried to rob me”. The cab drove away without the suspect and the suspect began hurriedly walking away. Shortly after a description of the robber was broadcast, Ingleside Officers Ng and Anderson found her walking several blocks away. The clerk positively identified her as the woman who tried to rob her store. The suspect was taken to Ingleside and booked for the attempted robbery. The clerk also said she had security footage of the incident which will aid investigators in the case. Case number: 130946673
10:22pm 800 Blk Moultrie Drugs
Ingleside Officers Padilla, Barajas, and Seavey were on patrol when they noticed a White Toyota parked illegally, with its lights and engine off, blocking the access to the street. While parked, they noticed that the only passenger in the vehicle was occasionally illuminated by a light that they suspected was a match or lighter. This was an area where there had been several previous narcotics arrests. The officers continued to observe the vehicle and it’s occupant for a few more minutes before another vehicle drove up and parked with an occupant of the second vehicle getting out and walking up to the first car and then getting in the front seat. At that point, Officers Padilla, Barajas, and Seavey approached the parked vehicle, identified themselves as police officers, and asked both passengers to exit the car. One was placed in handcuffs and escorted to the sidewalk but the other passenger bolted with Officers Padilla and Seavey in pursuit. While running away, the suspect threw a plastic bag containing a white powder onto the sidewalk. Both officers quickly apprehended and arrested the suspect a short distance away and recovered the plastic bag which contained suspected methamphetamine. A search of the running suspect turned up more than $800 in one of his pockets. The other suspect had a small quantity of cocaine in one pocket while another contained approximately $1000 in cash. Both suspects were transported to Ingleside Station and booked on a variety of charges. Case number: 130946695
