The next community meeting at Ingleside Station will be held on December 17, 2013. 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:
11:30am Unit Blk Allison Firearm/Parole Violation
The call to dispatch was serious, “a man with a gun possibly holding hostages”. Ingleside Officers Chicas, Fung, Wilkom, Pedersen, Sullivan, and Leong, along with Sgt. Springer raced to the scene and found a group of people standing outside a residence and a lone man standing on the roof of the home. The owner of the home, who was standing on the sidewalk, told officer Chicas that there wasn’t anyone taking hostages and she didn’t know who might have a weapon. However the man on the roof, who turned out to be her son, kept gesturing to officers that there was a man in the garage with a gun. Several officers approached the garage and saw a subject working on a motorcycle. They ordered him to exit the garage and detained him. A search of the garage turned up an unloaded .38 caliber handgun hidden in a couch near the motorcycle. A record search revealed that the suspect was on active felony parole. A search of his car revealed a license plate stolen from a vehicle in Burlingame. The homeowner’s son later told officers that he was in a dispute with the suspect over a woman both of them were dating and had a confrontation with him earlier that morning. The suspect was taken to the county jail and booked for firearm possession, possession of stolen property, and parole violations. Report number: 131023109
3:48pm 1600 Blk Sunnydale Firearm/Ammunition
Ingleside Officers Uang, Trail, and Peregoy were on routine patrol when they responded to a call of a family dispute with items being thrown out the residence’s window. When they arrived at the location, the officers found two family members outside the residence who said that their daughter was in danger of being abused by her boyfriend inside the residence. The officers went inside and talked to the arguing couple who confirmed they had been involved in a heated argument. The woman asked the officers to order her boyfriend to leave but the officers said that was not possible because the boyfriend was the legal lessee on the residence. The officers convinced the couple to get along and they agreed. The officers left only to return a short time later after a second 911 call about a heated argument between the couple. This time the woman threatened her boyfriend saying, “If you don’t leave, I’ll tell them what’s upstairs”. The boyfriend responded, “So be it”. The woman told the officers her boyfriend kept a revolver and ammunition in their bedroom. She told the officers they could look for themselves which they did, finding bullets on top of a bedroom dresser but no gun. The woman then said the gun was wrapped in a sock in his van parked nearby. The officers towed the van to Ingleside Station and found the gun on the floor near the front seat. A computer check revealed that the gun was not stolen. A judge issued an emergency protective order for the girlfriend directing her boyfriend to stay away from her. Report number: 131023773
11:50pm 200 Blk Schwerin Firearm
Ingleside Officers Ma and Zahn noticed several men hanging out in front of a residence drinking alcohol and sitting on a couch. The officers exited their patrol car and, while walking up to the group, noticed one of the men quickly move his right hand out of sight behind him. The officers asked the man to show his hands and he did but the officers also noticed, next to the several full bottles of gin on the sidewalk, a loose shotgun shell at his feet. During a search, the officers also found another shotgun shell in his front pocket. The officers also discovered a 12 gauge shotgun hidden in the couch. The shotgun’s serial number had been filed off. A computer check revealed that none of the men were wanted for outstanding warrants. The shotgun and ammunition was booked as evidence and one suspect was cited for possession of an altered firearm and possession of open alcohol containers and then released. Report number: 131024787
Serious Incidents:
5:30am Unit Blk Danton Aggravated Assault
A homeless man, sleeping near highway #280, told a citizen to call police because he had been stabbed. The victim told Ingleside Officer Jones that he woke up to a sharp pain in his side and noticed he was bleeding from a wound to his chest below his armpit. He told Officer Jones that he didn’t know who attacked him and that he recently arrived in the city. He was taken to San Francisco General for treatment. Police were unable to locate the good Samaritan who reported the crime. Report number: 131022101
7:19pm Mission/Geneva Robbery
A restaurant patron walking home from an evening meal was robbed at gunpoint. The victim told Ingleside Officers Morse and Rock that shortly after he left a restaurant on Mission Street and started walking north toward Geneva, a suspect walked up in front of him and told him to stop. The victim kept walking and shortly thereafter a second suspect walked up from behind and reached into his jacket pocket while punching him in the face. The first suspect, during the assault, pushed him into a wall causing the victim to fall onto the sidewalk. The second suspect then began kicking the victim several times while a displaying a knife. The victim got to his feet in time to see the first suspect holding a gun. Fearing for his life, the victim let the suspects remove his cell phone and a wallet which contained cash, identification cards, and a debit card.
