 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.


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. The 20-hour training, taught by First Responders, includes personal preparedness, light search and rescue, disaster medicine, shutting off your utilities, and how to participate as a member of a neighborhood response team.  NERT also offers continuing training for graduates and activities that support building robust neighborhood teams.  For more information, visit the NERT website at http://sfgov.org//sffdnert, or contact Lt. Erica Arteseros at (415)970-2022 or sffdnert@sfgov.org



Are you someone who is interested in disaster preparedness and wants to help out your community while working hand in hand with law enforcement? Then the ALERT program is for you!                                     
                                            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.

Three steps to becoming an
A.L.E.R.T. volunteer:
1. Complete NERT training and receive certification. To register for NERT training courses please visit www.sfgov.org/sfnert
2. Once NERT certified, forward a copy of your NERT ID card to the ALERT program. sfpdalert@sfov.org
3. After clearing a basic background check the individual is eligible to register for ALERT training.

The next ALERT training class has been scheduled for Jan. 18th, 2014, from 8:00am-5:00pm. This class will be held at the San Francisco Police Academy, in the parking lot bungalow.


Scam Alert:  Here is how it works: the suspect will call the victim and identify himself as a PG&E employee.  The suspect will ask for the victim by name and ask if he/she is the owner of a particular business or property.  Once the victim replies yes, the suspect tells the victim that his/her bill is delinquent in a specific amount.  The suspect then tells the victim that he/she needs to pay the delinquent bill by a certain time or their service will be terminated.  The suspect instructs the victim to buy MoneyPak cards in a specific amount.  The suspect then instructs the victim to read the card's code numbers to him over the phone.  Once that is done, the money is gone and the scam is complete.

The suspect will give the victim a call-back number that goes to a voicemail that identifies itself via recording as PG&E.

If you receive a call like this, please call the customer service number on your billing statement to confirm the call is legitimate.  If that call turns out to be a scam, please have a police report made


Arrests:

12:15pm     2000 Blk San Jose                  Vehicle Burglary
Officer Bernard and Sergeant Turner were on their way back to Ingleside Station when they spotted a subject breaking into a vehicle that was parked only a block away from the police station. While they were headed Northbound on San Jose Avenue, they caught a suspect smashing the passenger side window of a truck then reaching in and taking property out of the vehicle. Officer Bernard and Sgt Turner immediately stopped but at this point they were spotted by the suspect, who began to walk away. Officer Bernard jumped out of the vehicle and chased after the suspect, who was unable to make a get-a-way. They searched the suspect and found various tools in his possession as well as the stolen property taken from the truck. Two witnesses who were in the park also witnessed the brazen daylight act. The suspect was taken to the station where he was ultimately charged with multiple felony charges. The owner of the truck was contacted and the property returned. Report Number: 131039413


Serious Incidents

11:30pm     400 BLK Geneva                   Assault
Officers Khan and Kerlegan responded to the 400 block of Geneva Avenue on a call of an assault that just occurred. The victim told the officers that he was seated at the bus shelter reading a book while waiting for the bus to arrive. While there, he noticed a man next to him staring intently at him. The victim said he didn’t want any altercation, therefore ignored the man. When the bus finally arrived, the male subject got up and waited for the doors to open. The victim stood up as well and waited behind the suspect to board the bus. Suddenly, the suspect pulled out a hammer from his pocket and struck the victim on the nose causing a flow of blood rush to down his face. The victim chased after the suspect who ran down to the BART station and lost sight of him after that. The victim was treated later on. Report Number: 131043072
