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:
2:00pm 3300 Blk Mission Robbery
Ingleside Officers Wang and Guzman were patrolling Mission Street when they were dispatched to a call of a robbery at a supermarket. When they arrived, store security already had the suspect in custody in the back of the store. The two security officers told Guzman and Wang that the female suspect was spotted taking a bottle of liquor from a shelf, hiding it in her clothing, then walking past the checkout counters and out of the store. The security officers confronted the thief on the sidewalk and, after a brief struggle, managed to recover the liquor, handcuff the suspect, and bring her back to the store. A computer check revealed the female thief had an outstanding felony warrant for her arrest. She was taken to the county jail and booked for robbery and the warrant. Report number: 131063371
2:04pm 500 Blk Athens Stolen Vehicle
An alert neighbor helped police nab a vehicle thief. The citizen called police after spotting a trespasser in the back of a neighbor’s home working on a motor scooter. Ingleside Officers Naval and Morrow responded and talked to the backyard mechanic who was using a screwdriver to work on a Shenke scooter. The suspect said he bought the vehicle at auction and had it towed to this location. When the officers asked for a bill of sale or registration the mechanic suspect said he didn’t have any. A computer check revealed the scooter registered to a nearby address on Athens and the officers contacted the owner who stated the vehicle was stolen from in front of his home. The suspect was taken to Ingleside Station and booked for vehicle theft. Report number: #131063127
8:40p 600 Blk Chenery Armed Robbery
Two alert police officers patrolling the Tenderloin helped arrest a suspect in an Ingleside robbery. It all started when woman working at her shop on Chenery Street was robbed at gunpoint of her purse containing $400 cash, credit cards, and driver’s license, along with a laptop and cell phone. Ingleside Officers Gonzalez and Austin responded to the robbery scene and broadcast a description of the suspect and the items stolen. A short time later, Tenderloin Officers Scafani and Goff spotted a Mercedes Benz, with illegally tinted drivers and passenger windows, driving on McAllister Street near the Hastings College of Law. The officers stopped the car and while searching the vehicle, found most of the property belonging to the robbery victim. Other officers searching the area found additional property of the victim underneath parked vehicles on the street. The victim was brought from the Ingleside district to the scene of the traffic stop to see if she could identify the three occupants of the vehicle as one of the robbers. After carefully looking at the occupants she told Officers Gonzalez and Austin that none of the three were the men who robbed her. However, Officer Scafani said there was a fourth occupant who exited the vehicle shortly before it was pulled over. The officer, along with several crime reduction team members, searched the area for video surveillance cameras and found one with a clear picture of the fourth occupant. It was shown to the victim and she identified the man as the one who robbed her. Police are actively searching for him at this time. The driver of the Mercedes was taken to Ingleside Station and booked for receiving stolen property and for possession of illegal fireworks which were discovered in the trunk of his vehicle.
