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.

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.
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:
2:55 pm Geneva/Cayuga Robbery
The quick and thorough work of Ingleside Officers Williams and Naval, along with help from three members of a specialized MUNI investigative team, Officers Evans, Latus, and Sgt. Cunningham, resulted in the arrest of two robbers. It all began when a young man was robbed of his IPhone at knife point while riding home on a route #54 MUNI bus. The suspects approached the young victim while the bus was stopped at the Balboa Park BART station. Ingleside Officers Williams and Naval interviewed the victim and dispatch broadcasted a description of the two suspects to all S.F.P.D. officers. A little more than an hour later, Officers Evans, Latus, and Sgt. Cunningham detained two suspects near 7th and Market Streets, an area known to police for trafficking stolen cell phones. The young victim was brought to 7th and Market where he positively identified the two suspects as the men who threatened him with a knife and took his phone. Report number: 140594400
Serious Incidents:
8:00 pm Geneva /Carter Robbery
Another MUNI rider lost her wallet to a robber. The victim told Ingleside Officers Austin and Aylworth that she had just exited the bus at Geneva and Carter streets when she felt someone pulling on her shoulder bag. The victim pulled the bag back and then the suspect and victim started a “Tug of war” over the bag for several seconds. Finally, the robber reached into the bag and took the victim’s wallet containing cash and her social security card and ran away. Report number: 140595436
8:10pm Geneva /Naples Exhibiting a Weapon
A possible road rage incident led to two women being threatened with a knife. The two victims told Ingleside Officer Gonzalez that they were driving eastbound on Geneva, near Alemany, when they switched from the number two lane into the number one lane in front of a car, several vehicle lengths behind them. As they continued driving, the driver of the car behind them pulled up next to them, rolled down his window, and flashed a knife at the two women. The suspect then turned southbound on Naples with the two victims following attempting to get his license plate number. After turning south on Naples, the suspect suddenly stopped, got out of his car, holding the knife, and threatened the women. The two victims then drove around the vehicle and went straight to Ingleside Station to report the incident and the suspect’s license plate number. Report number: 140595458
11:20pm Unit Blk Blythdale Robbery
A late night deal turned rancid after the suspect and victim
argued over money to buy meat. The victim told Ingleside Officers Anderson and
Bernal that he arranged with the suspect to buy $30 worth of meat. When he went
to pick up the purchase, the suspect and another man refused to give him the
meat. They also punched him in the face and, while threatening him with bolt
cutters, stole cash and a cell phone from one of his pockets. Report number:
