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:

 4:38am      800 Blk. Geneva           Warrant
A traffic violation led to the arrest of a woman wanted on an out of state warrant. Ingleside officers Hauscarriague and Holland were driving southbound on Mission when they noticed a driver make a right turn onto Geneva without signaling. The officers stopped the vehicle and the driver was issued a citation for the traffic infraction. However, a computer check of the passenger turned up a no-bail probation violation warrant from Florida. She was taken into custody. Report number: 131096924

10:45am     200 Blk.  Congdon       Unlicensed Driver/Warrants
Another motorist coasted through a stop sign and got the attention of Ingleside officer Rand. Officer Rand was monitoring traffic at the intersection of Congdon and Maynard when he saw the driver of a pickup truck go through the intersection without stopping. Officer Rand pulled the motorist over and when he asked to see the operator’s license, the driver responded, “I don’t have a license”. The driver did not possess any identification. Using a state database, the driver was positively identified as someone with two outstanding warrants out of San Mateo County. He was arrested and transported to Ingleside station. His pickup was released to its owner. Report number: 131097455

7:48pm       Mission/Maynard        Weapons Violation
Three alert Ingleside officers led to the removal of a dangerous weapon from our streets. Ingleside officers Clemente, Holland and Hauscarriague were driving down Mission when they spotted a man, in a group of three men, drinking from an open container. When the officers stopped their patrol car they saw the man with the beer turn around, reach into his waistband, remove a pistol, place it on the sidewalk, and then step away. The officers quickly put all three men in handcuffs and removed them from the vicinity of the pistol. A computer check revealed that the man drinking the beer was out on bail and awaiting trial for carrying a concealed weapon. A second man in the group had a loaded 9mm magazine in his pocket. He also had a firearm restriction related to a domestic violence case. Both men were arrested and taken to Ingleside Station. Report number: 131098679

11:32pm     Unit Blk. Dichiera Ct.   Narcotics
A citizen spotted a man peering into vehicles and called police. Ingleside Officers Dilag and Vainshtok responded and quickly located the suspicious individual at the end of the street. When they asked for identification, the suspect couldn’t provide any. During a search, the officers found a glass pipe in his pocket with white residue on the tip and brown residue in the bowl. He was taken to Ingleside Station where his identity was obtained using a city database. The suspect was booked on a narcotics charge. Report number: 131099081
