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:

4:53am       1800 Block  Sunnydale                Robbery
A woman was robbed of her belongings while dropping a co-worker off at a residence. The victim told Ingleside Officers Lok and Dilag that she parked and walked with her co-worker into a residence to use the bathroom. When she went back to her car alone two occupants of the home followed her outside and one of them pointed a handgun at her demanding her purse, cell phone, over $200 in cash, and debit card. One suspect then got into her car and ordered her to drive away from the residence. A short time later, the suspect told her to stop the car and he got out and walked away. The victim stopped a woman walking down the street and asked her to call the police. Officers Dilag and Lok, along with other Ingleside and Bayview officers drove to the address where the crime took place and found the two suspects in the living room along with the victim’s cell phone. Both were driven to Ingleside station and booked for robbery. Report number: 131064664


9:10am       400 Block Hoffman                    Burglary
Ingleside Officers Archilla and Yuen were on patrol when they spotted a vehicle that was possibly involved in several burglaries. The two officers were joined by their colleagues, Ingleside Officers Barajas and Padilla, as the suspect vehicle drove through Noe Valley and eventually parked in the 400 Block of Hoffman Avenue. The male driver of the vehicle got out and walked to an apartment house on Hoffman and disappeared into a side alley. Meanwhile, the female passenger stayed in the car and was talking on her cell phone. A short time later, the passenger slid into the driver’s seat and started driving down the street and stopped to pick up the male who had exited an apartment building holding a brown bag. The man got back into the driver’s seat and he, and his female passenger, started driving away with the police following a safe distance behind. The officers broadcast a description of the suspects and, with the help of other Ingleside units, stopped the vehicle at 24th and Sanchez Streets. Both occupants were placed in handcuffs and a search of the vehicle turned up a laptop computer, a GPS device, several items of jewelry, and a cell phone. The occupants along with the car were taken to Ingleside Station. Officer Yuen and Archilla traveled back to the Hoffman apartment home and found an unlocked window with blinds that were disturbed. The officers entered the residence and found the apartment in disarray with dresser drawers opened and laptop cables disconnected. The residents of the apartment were located and traveled to Ingleside station where they identified their property found in the suspect’s car. Both suspects were booked at Ingleside Station for burglary. Report number: 131064993


Serious Incidents:

1:41am       Italy/Paris                                  Robbery
A woman on her way to pick up her child was struck in the face and robbed of her cell phone. The victim told Ingleside Officers Ng and Anderson that, after parking her car on Paris Street near the intersection of Italy, she was walking toward the home where her child was staying when a suspect appeared out of the dark and said, “Give me your phone”. The victim said she dropped her phone after the suspect punched her in the right eye. The suspect then grabbed the phone from the sidewalk and ran away. The victim went home and called police.
