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:
4:40am Mission/30th Attempted Robbery
A victim was out taking his early morning walk when, up ahead, he noticed four suspects standing at the corner of Mission and 30th Street. The victim said he got a funny feeling because they were glancing at him as he approached. As he passed by one of the males in the group asked him for a couple dollars. The victim replied and told them he did not carry any cash. Suddenly, the suspects surrounded him. The victim said at that point he knew he was going to be robbed and became fearful for his life. The victim then pulled out his pepper spray and threatened to spray the suspects. One of the suspects in the group pulled out a knife and demanded money. Once the victim saw the knife, he immediately, “ran for his life”, and ran into an open business and yelled at the shop owners to call for the police. The suspects did not chase after the suspect and instead ran away. Officers Dominguez and Zahn responded and detained two out of the four suspects. Officer Carrasco met with the victim who identified the two suspects as taking part in the attempted robbery. The victim told Officer Carrasco that the suspect with the knife was not one of the two suspects in custody. Several units searched the area and were unable to locate the two outstanding suspects. The two that were in custody were charged and booked for the attempted robbery. Report Number: 131079033.
Serious Incidents:
12:13am Hahn/Blythdale Evading Police
Officers Dominguez and Zahn were on duty patrolling the Sunnydale Housing Development when they observed a vehicle run a posted STOP sign at the intersection of Santos and Blythdale. The officers effected a traffic stop in order to cite the driver for the moving violation. The driver complied and immediately pulled over. Officer Dominguez approached the vehicle and made contact with the driver, who suddenly put the transmission in gear and fled at a high rate of speed. The officers quickly jumped back in their patrol vehicle and started to follow the vehicle. The officers used their radios to give the responding units the description and direction of travel. The vehicle had a good head start on the officers when it pulled into a nearby parking lot. The officers caught up to the vehicle and noticed that it had now been abandoned. The officers searched the interior and found a rental agreement inside the glove compartment. They then conducted a computer inquiry on the name listed on the rental agreement and got a hit. They were able to match the name with a recent mug shot of the suspect. The officers found out that the suspect was on active probation with a search condition. Several officers searched the area to no avail. The vehicle was then towed from the scene. Report Number: 131788847
