The next community meeting at Ingleside Station will be held on January 21, 2014.  Thank you.

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 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.

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.

A landlord called police to report an evicted tenant had illegally re-entered her apartment. Ingleside Officers Suguitan and Johnson responded and found the woman trespasser inside her old apartment.

Officers Johnson and Suguitan showed her a copy of the court case authorizing the eviction but the tenant still refused to leave the premises.

Serious Incidents:


12:29pm     400 Blk La Grande                Burglary
Three residents of a home were robbed of their possessions and their home ransacked during a violent burglary. When Ingleside Officers Fung, Archilla, Scott and Fulgado arrived on scene they were met by one of the residents, an 81 year old woman, who said she was preparing to leave her home for a doctor’s appointment when two men came running up the stairs toward her second floor bedroom. The men pushed her to the bed while they ransacked her bedroom of cash and other valuables. A short time later, her grandson returned home and was confronted by the two burglars. His wallet was taken and the two thieves pushed him around the home while they ransacked several other rooms. The suspects then left the home and the grandson called police. Later, the elderly victim’s granddaughter returned home and discovered she had several items stolen during the burglary. A neighbor told the officers that she noticed a suspicious vehicle on the street before the crime but she couldn’t provide a license plate number. Ingleside Station investigators continue to work on the case. Report number: 140024695

The robber then ran away southbound on Lisbon Street and the victim called police. Report number: 140025740

A resident was inside his home when he suddenly heard 3 to 5 gunshots directly outside of his house.
