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:

10:01am     200 Blk Avalon   Vehicle Burglary
Officer Baldovino and several other Ingleside officers responded to an auto boost in progress.  Dispatch broadcasted a description of the suspect and Officers Ng and Tillan detained an individual matching the description on Lisbon and Silver.

Officer Baldovino located the vehicle in question and found the passenger door unlocked and the vehicle ransacked.  He spoke with the witness who told him that he observed a male enter the van, remain inside of it for a few minutes, then exit the van.  The male suspect then continued walking down Lisbon looking into other vehicles. 

The witness was taken to the area where the suspect was detained where he positively identified him.  The suspect was transported to Ingleside station and booked for the auto boost.  Officers located various items in his backpack which were booked into evidence.  The officers contacted the registered owner of the vehicle, who claimed no one had permission to enter his vehicle.  Various items recovered were described to him and he told the officers he believed they belonged to him.  Report Number 140021221


Serious Incidents:

10:00pm     500 Blk Silver      Robbery
Officers Ng and Zahn were sent to assist the victim of a robbery.  The victim told them that she exited a Muni bus and was walking on Silver when a red vehicle drove up alongside her.  A male exited the vehicle, pointed a gun at her and said, “Give me your backpack, give me your wallet.”  The victim complied and the suspect told her to lie on the ground and not move or he would shoot her.  The suspect then got back into the vehicle which fled eastbound on Silver. 

Officers searched the area for the suspects and the vehicle to no avail.  They were unable to locate any video cameras in the area.  Report Number 140023380
