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:

7:00pm       800 Blk Eugenia            Recovered Vehicle
A report of a suspicious person in a vehicle sent Ingleside officers Rueca and Willcom to the 800 block of Eugenia. When they arrived, they found a woman loading items into the back of an older Chevy pickup truck. The woman told the officers she was using the truck to take items to the farmer’s market. When the officers checked the registration, they discovered the truck was reported stolen in November. Another computer check on the suspect revealed she had 5 outstanding warrants for her arrest. She was taken to Ingleside station and booked. Report number: 130981908


10:15pm     1100 Blk Geneva         Drugs
A vehicle with a non-working headlight led to a narcotics arrest. Ingleside officers Holland and Hauscarriague were on routine patrol when they spotted a Volkswagen Golf, with five occupants, driving with one headlight out. The officers stopped the Golf and noticed the strong odor of marijuana while talking to the driver. The driver said he had a marijuana card which permitted his medical use of the substance. The officers also noticed the young driver was shaking uncontrollably during their interview and appeared to be very nervous. The officers asked him to step out of the vehicle while they searched to see if there was a larger quantity of marijuana than was allowed by his medical card. In an ash tray, the officers found a marijuana cigarette and by the hand brake, the officers discovered a large baggie with six separate smaller baggies containing cocaine. The driver was placed in handcuffs while the officers conducted a more thorough search of the car. In the glove box, the officers discovered a digital scale with marijuana residue. In the trunk was another digital scale with cocaine residue. In the suspect’s pants pocket was a cell phone with several text messages from narcotics buyers. He was taken to Ingleside Station and booked for transporting narcotics for sale. Report number: 131091059


Serious Incidents:

9:34am       100 Blk Shawnee            Burglary/Hot Prowl
A homeowner was in his back bedroom when he heard a loud bang coming from the front of his home. The victim told Ingleside officers Chang and Gallo that he walked to the living room of his home and looked out the front window to see a man loitering near his garage door. After the homeowner made eye contact, the man walked away northbound on San Jose Avenue. The victim called police before walking downstairs and inspecting the front of his home.
