Rules and pointers for pedestrians and drivers
Pay attention to reduce your chances of being in an accident
The most important safety tip to reduce pedestrian injuries and fatalities is to pay attention. You can significantly reduce your chances of being in a collision with a motor vehicle by obeying traffic rules and being aware of dangers posed by cars in your vicinity. Make eye contact with drivers if possible and make sure that they can see you.
Both drivers and pedestrians have certain safety responsibilities that depend on both circumstances and common sense.
Drivers must:
- Yield to pedestrians when crossing a sidewalk or entering an alley or driveway
- Yield to pedestrians who have started crossing at an intersection or crosswalk on a "walk" signal or a green light, if there is no walk signal
- Yield to pedestrians who are crossing the highway within a marked or unmarked crosswalk at an intersection where there are no traffic lights or control signals
- Not overtake and pass any vehicle that stops at an intersection or crosswalk to permit a pedestrian or bicyclist to cross the roadway safely
Pedestrians must:
- Yield to drivers when crossing a road where there is no intersection or crosswalk or where the pedestrian does not have a green or "walk" signal and where vehicles have a green signal
- Not suddenly move into the path of a closely approaching vehicle that does not have sufficient time to yield for a pedestrian
- Walk on and along the left side of a highway when not walking on a sidewalk. Note: This law does not apply to bicycles. Bicycles operate under the same laws as other legal vehicles on the road and should always stay on the right side of the road.
Burglary Alert: A rash of burglaries have been taking place where an odd an unusual technique is being used to gain entry into garages. To date, Ingleside officers have responded to six separate burglary reports that have mostly taken place in the Noe Valley area. Officers have noticed that an unknown suspect(s) has been drilling a one inch diameter circular hole into the top center of the garage door and then using a long hook to pull on the emergency release cord, which disengages the automatic garage door opener. Once the garage door is disengaged the thieves simply lift the garage door and gain entry into the garage and/or homes. Please take steps to secure your garage door. Contact the garage door or automatic garage door opener manufacturer for any preventative safety tips that they may have. Also, if you see anything suspicious, especially at night, at your neighbors’ house or around the neighborhood, don’t hesitate to call the police.
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.
An 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 training class has been scheduled for May 3rd, 2014, from 8:00am – 5:00pm. This class will be held at the San Francisco Police Academy, in the parking lot bungalow.
Arrests:
8:00am 2200 Blk San Jose Robbery
A victim told Officer Aslam that she had just gotten of the MUNI train when she was jumped by two girls who took her Iphone. Officer Aslam began to track the victim’s phone and led the responding units to the area of Sunnydale and Hahn Street. Officers Rand, Baldovino, Larocca and Trujillo scoured the area and found the suspects. Once they were detained, Officer Aslam activated the “Find my Iphone” sound alert which was heard coming from a purse that one of the suspects was carrying. Officer Rand looked inside and found the victim’s phone inside. Two witnesses at the scene said they saw the attack/robbery and called the police. The suspects were transported to Ingleside Station and confessed to the robbery. They were both booked on a handful of charges including robbery and assault. The victim said she was not seriously hurt and refused any medical treatment. Report Number: 140143273.
5:31pm 4900 Blk Mission Robbery/Assault
Two women walked into the Safeway store with the intention of taking a few items. Two Loss Prevention Officers kept an eye on the woman as they walked to the alcohol aisle and picked out four bottles of vodka and a package of pork chops and concealed them in a large purse. The women then casually walked out the store never making any attempt to pay for the items. The Loss Prevention Officer then followed the woman outside and confronted them as they were getting into their vehicle. One of the officers grabbed the purse and a struggle ensued. The women were able to keep control of the purse and jumped into the vehicle to make their escape. While fleeing the parking lot the driver ran over the officer’s foot. Several minutes later and some distance away, Sgt Sawyer and Officer Snadow spotted the vehicle and stopped it. Officer Lucchetti and Johnson took the Loss Prevention Officers to the traffic stop where they identified the women. Inside the vehicle the officers recovered the stolen items. The women were taken to Ingleside Station where they were booked for the robbery and assault. Report Number: 140145382
