A Message from the Public Utilities Commission:
“A Call to Conserve Water”
We didn’t get enough rain or snow this winter – plain and simple. The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) is officially asking all customers to voluntarily reduce water use by 10%.
Conservation is easy; turn off the faucet while brushing teeth or soaping hands; shorten shower time; install water-efficient showerheads and faucet aerators; replace older toilets and clothes washers with new water-efficient models; and, fix leaks. Please visit sfwater.org/conservation for more information. The SFPUC offers an array of conservation assistance including free water-saving devices, free Water-Wise evaluations for homes, apartment buildings and businesses and rebates for water-efficient toilets and clothes washers.
Everyone needs to do their part to help us stretch our limited Hetch Hetchy Water Supplies. Conserve today and save for tomorrow.

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.
Heat wave: Many residents are leaving their windows and doors open in an effort to keep cooler as the temperature increases during these gorgeous sunny days. Be extra careful, especially when you leave your home, paying attention to secure the windows and doors when you leave. Burglars are always looking for the easiest way inside your home. Don’t give them the opportunity for the easy access. Make sure to secure these entry points and leave them locked when you are not around. A third of all the burglaries committed in the Ingleside district during the month of April were due to open garages and unlocked or open windows. Also, remember to keep hydrated with lots of water!!
Muni Related Thefts/Robberies: Commuters who take public transportation have been targeted by cell phone thieves. In the last couple weeks there has been two incidents involving MUNI related thefts and robberies here in the Ingleside District. In one of the cases, witnesses told the officers at the scene that the suspect was watching the victim as she focused only on her smart phone, paying no attention to her surroundings. When the bus stopped, the suspect snatched the phone from her hand and ran off the bus. If you’re not paying attention to your surroundings, you’re wearing a target on your back. Smart phone owners need to be aware that thieves may be watching you and ready to snatch your devices. The following is some common advice to avoid becoming a victim: Always be aware of your surroundings. If the bus is going to stop, stop what you are doing, look up, look around and put your phone down or put it in your pocket. And when the bus is in movement again you can go back to looking at it.
Arrests:
5:05pm Mt. Vernon/Del Monte Battery/Resisting
Ingleside officers Fung and Suguitan were dispatched to investigate a fight between two men. When they arrived at the intersection of Mt. Vernon and Del Monte, they found one of the combatants with multiple abrasions around his neck. He told the officers that he was crossing Del Monte when a black SUV almost struck him. The driver then got out of the vehicle and began yelling at him. The driver grabbed the victim by the neck and both fell to the ground. After a short struggle, the driver got back into his SUV and drove away. The victim indicated to the officers where the suspect went and that he could identify him. Officer Suguitan found the driver at a home a short distance away and attempted to arrest him, but the suspect resisted. He was taken into custody after a short struggle and the victim was brought to the scene to positively identify him as the man who attacked him. The suspect was taken to Ingleside Station and charged with battery and resisting arrest. The victim refused medical treatment. Report number: 140496793
7:30pm Mission/Richland Narcotics/Traffic Violations
A driver crossing over the double yellow line into oncoming traffic on Mission caught the attention of Ingleside Sgt. Alvarez and Officers Seavey and Padilla. The officers began following the vehicle and watched in amazement as the driver failed to stop at red lights and stop signs throughout the Excelsior and Mission Districts. Finally, with the help of Mission Station officers O’Connor and Mellone, the vehicle was stopped on the 1100 block of Valencia. The unlicensed driver was taken into custody and charged with several moving traffic violations. He was also charged with possession of methamphetamine, a quantity of which was found in one of his pockets. What’s more, there were two warrants for his arrest out of San Mateo County. The suspect was booked at Ingleside Station. Report number: 140497036
Serious Incidents:
10:43pm 400 Blk Silver Robbery
A store owner watched as a man picked up a soda and went to the counter but, instead of paying for the beverage, took out a handgun and demanded the store receipts. The merchant told Ingleside Officer Paras and Gabriel that he took approximately $500 dollars from the register and gave it to the robber. But the robber wasn’t satisfied, and came around the counter and hit the store owner on the side of his face with his fist. The suspect searched the merchant’s pockets for more funds, but came up empty. He fled the store before the merchant called police. The victim refused medical assistance and believed he could identify the suspect. Video footage was caught on tape and retrieved for evidence. Report number: 140497553
