The next community meeting at Ingleside Station will be held on January 21, 2014. 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.
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:
10:43am Unit Blk Nahua Obstructing a Police Officer
An alert citizen approached Ingleside Officers Tillan and Ng saying he was concerned about a car in the area of the Balboa BART station containing three occupants. He said it was possible the occupants were casing the area for crime victims. The officers responded to the unit block of Nahua Street where they found the car with only the driver inside. The officers asked the driver to roll down his window which he complied and the officers detected the strong odor of marijuana. The driver told the officers that he was waiting for the other two occupants to return after dropping them off a short time before. The officers asked the driver to exit the vehicle and provide some identification. He did get out of the car but became argumentative and gave the officers a false name. He was transported to Ingleside Station where a computer check revealed his true identity. He was cited for obstructing a police officer and released.
5:03pm 1200 Block Cortland Firearm Violations
Ingleside Officer Thompson obtained a search warrant for a home where a convicted robber resided with prohibited firearms. When Officer Thompson arrived, Ingleside Officers Quintero and Campos had detained the suspect in front of the home. Officer Thompson, along with Officers Barajas, Seavy, and Sgt. Alvarez searched the residence and seized a cellphone containing images of the suspect holding a loaded firearm and firing handguns into a neighbors home. The suspect was transported to Ingleside Station and booked on weapons charges. Report number 131057324
8:00pm San Jose/Randall D.U.I
A report of a car stuck on the streetcar tracks prompted dispatch to send Ingleside Officer Duffin and Sgt Sawyer to investigate. When the officers arrived at the intersection of San Jose and Randall they noticed a Chevrolet Astro van stuck in the gravel on the tracks 300 feet past the intersection. While speaking to the driver, Sgt Sawyer noticed the strong odor of alcohol on his breath along with bloodshot eyes and a flushed face. His speech was slow and his words were slurred. When asked if he had been drinking the driver responded, “One beer”. Later he said “two beers”. Then, after a short time, it was “one beer and one shot”, finally it was “two beers and two shots”. The driver failed a roadside sobriety test and he agreed to a blood alcohol test at the county jail where he was subsequently booked for the D.U.I. Report number: 131057421
