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:

6:26pm       100 Blk Sweeny                      Search Warrant
Ingleside Officers Campos, Quintero, Morse, Rock, Thompson, Quinlan, Duffin, and Rueca went to an address on Sweeny Street to search the residence of a man suspected of possessing a stolen hand gun. The suspect was served with the warrant after exiting his home and the officers entered and found the stolen firearm hidden in a dresser drawer in his room along with a large quantity of marijuana packaged for sale and a digital scale used for weighing narcotics. The suspect was transported to Ingleside Station and booked for having stolen property and narcotics charges. Report number: 131046076


Serious Incidents:

7:45pm       100 Blk Rutland                      Robbery
A young woman, walking alone on the street, was robbed of her purse and contents. The victim told Ingleside Officers Morse and Rock that two men exited a black four door sedan parked at the intersection of Tioga and Rutland and ran up the hill towards her. One of the two suspects placed a hand over her mouth and said, “Don’t scream. Give me your money and your cell phone”. The victim, fearing for her safety, took her purse off her shoulder and gave it to the suspects who quickly ran back to their car and drove away. Her loss was an IPhone 5, credit and debit cards, Muni pass, and a small amount of cash. Report number: 131046195


9:52pm       Mission/Seneca                       Evading a Police Officer
A car thief endangered motorists and pedestrians while trying to elude capture. It all started when Ingleside Officers Lustenberger and Chew attempted to stop silver Acura that had been double parked. The thief and the officers were traveling northbound on Mission Street when the officers turned on their lights and siren. The thief then sped off traveling at a high rate of speed, crossing into oncoming traffic, and through several red lights, finally turning west bound on Ocean, crossing San Jose Avenue, and escaping driving west. The officers did not want to put the public in danger, so they immediately stopped chasing after the thief. Less than an hour later the owner of the vehicle arrived at Ingleside Station to report that his car was stolen from the Stonestown Galleria earlier that evening. The vehicle was eventually found in Daly City and towed for further investigation. Report number: 131046402
