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:

1:44pm       100 Blk. O’Shaughnessy        False Impersonation
Sgt. Chambers was driving eastbound down O’Shaughnessy when he noticed an Infiniti driving in the opposite direction without license plates. Chambers turned around and followed the Infiniti until it was safe to make a traffic stop. The woman driver handed Sgt. Chambers a driver’s license with a picture that didn’t match. He asked the driver a series of additional questions, which she had difficulty answering. After the driver exited the car and was place in handcuffs, she finally admitted that she was unlicensed and the license she showed Sgt. Chambers belonged to her sister. A computer check revealed that the driver was wanted on several warrants from San Mateo County and was considered armed and dangerous. She was arrested and taken to Ingleside Station. Report number: 140015757

9:38pm       4400 Blk. Mission                            Burglary
Officers Hauscarriague and Canning were on routine patrol when they spotted a known criminal walking into a local business. The officers stopped the man and ran a computer check which revealed he was wanted on a warrant for failure to appear in court for previous arrests for drugs and theft. A search of the suspect’s backpack revealed a BB gun and burglary tools. He was transported to Ingleside Station and booked for various crimes. Report number: 140017145

Serious Incidents:

Report number: 140015995

6:45pm       Excelsior/Vienna                    Robbery
A woman arrived at Ingleside Station and told Officer Brown that she had been robbed. The victim said she was walking on Excelsior when a man ran up behind her, put her in a headlock, and threw her to the ground. She got up, but a second suspect ran up and grabbed her purse, pushing her to the ground again. The first suspect then grabbed her headphones and ran away.  The second suspect grabbed her purse and also escaped. She told Officer Brown that she wouldn’t be able to recognize either suspect. She also declined medical attention. The loss was the purse, wallet, cash, credit cards, headphones and a cell phone. Report number: 140017208

11:15pm     Persia/Munich                        Robbery
A woman walking home was robbed of her purse and keys. The victim told Officers Contreras and Bautista that the suspect ran up behind her and said, “Give me your money, phone and keys to the vehicle you just got out of.”  The victim turned around and the suspect pressed a gun to her shoulder. That’s when she gave the suspect what he wanted and he ran away. Officer Contreras searched the area for clues and recovered the victim’s car keys across the street from her vehicle.
