Greetings San Francisco Garden Community -

After a competitive bidding process, the SFPUC College Hill Demonstration
Garden Project was awarded to seasoned Landscape Architects Pam Nagle and
Jeni Webber.  And, for the past few months, their firms have been working
closely with the SFPUC to finalize the build-out plans as well as a
projected vision for the SFPUC's new eco-literacy demonstration garden and
outdoor education center.  The new demonstration gardens will be built
adjacent to the water reservoirs on Elsie Street at Santa Maria just South
of Cortland in Bernal Heights neighborhood, San Francisco.

Since September, their firms, Pam Nagle Landscape Architect and Jeni Webber
and Associates have been developing a very forward-thinking
sustainability-focused physical design with an even more progressive plan
for youth engagement and educational programming on site.  And we need your
input.
The "One Water, One City (One World)" Program is putting a call out to
solicit community input on the programmatic side of the College Hill
Demonstration Gardens.  What would you like to see happen in Bernal Heights
related to urban garden education and the promotion of global
sustainability?
How do you envision youth and other community engagement happening on site?

Please join other interested community members for a...

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.

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.

A  informational meeting will be held on March 6th, 2014, at 7:00pm. The meeting will be held at the San Francisco Police Academy in the parking lot bungalow. This is NOT a mandatory meeting for interested volunteers. Come have your questions answered.

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.

The officers pulled up behind the car, exited their patrol car, and removed the woman driver and her male companion from the vehicle. A search of the passenger revealed a quantity of methamphetamine in one of his pockets. Both suspects were taken to Ingleside Station along with the now recovered car. A search of the vehicle turned up a stolen black purse with the victim’s driver’s license inside. The search also revealed a stolen wallet with another victim’s driver’s license and social security card. The driver of the stolen vehicle had several prior arrests for auto theft, burglary, and had her driver’s license suspended almost a year ago.

They also discovered a quantity of methamphetamine and marijuana in a couple of his pockets, a folding knife used by criminals, and a burglary tool attached to a chain around his neck.
