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.
3:51am Unit Blk Norton Auto Burglary
An alert citizen helped police nab two very busy car burglars. The citizen was awake and working at his computer when he heard a car alarm sound below his window. He looked out the window and saw two men with burglary tools walking away from the vehicle. The citizen dialed 911 and then went outside to follow the two suspects and relay their location to dispatch. The suspects traveled down Alemany Blvd. toward Ocean Avenue peering into vehicles with a flashlight and periodically smashing windows and removing contents all the while with the citizen following at a safe distance while talking to dispatch. The two suspects turned up Ocean Avenue and walked into the Bank of America parking lot where Ingleside Officers Siguido, Tindal, and Clemente were waiting to place them under arrest. A search of the suspects found several cell phones, camcorders, coins, and many other items removed from close to a half dozen neighborhood cars. The two suspects were taken to Ingleside Station and booked for burglary and possession of burglary tools. The officers spent the next several hours notifying car owners about the burglary and returning items taken from their vehicles. The alert citizen, who first notified police of the crime, also had surveillance video of the suspects breaking into that car below his apartment window. Report number: 140634799
Serious Incidents:
2:03am 4200
Blk Mission Carjacking
A motorist buying gas had his car stolen at gunpoint. The
motorist told Ingleside Officers Dilag and Stewart that he stopped at the pumps
and got out to pay the clerk for gas. However, as he approached the clerk’s
window he realized he had left his wallet in his SUV. He turned around and as
he returned to the SUV he noticed the vehicle start to pull away. He ran to the
passenger door yelling for the driver to stop but the driver, pointing a pistol
at him, just drove away. The vehicle owner had the SUV’s keys in his pocket and
realized that the thief was able to steal the vehicle because it had a keyless
ignition system that enabled a motorist to start and drive the car if the keys
were in close vicinity. The loss, besides the vehicle, was four cell phones and
currency. Report number: 140634658
7:46am Lyell
/ Alemany Robbery

robbed of her belongings. The victim told Ingleside Officer Thompson she was

purse strap she resisted and struggled to hold on to her property. The thief
then pulled her to the ground and before finally wrestling the purse from her
grasp and running away in an unknown direction. The loss was the purse, a
clipper card, credit and debit cards, glasses, and a cell phone. The victim,
who had bruises and scrapes, refused medical attention. Report number:

A woman texting, while riding home on the MUNI, lost her
cell phone to thieves. The victim told Ingleside Officers Fulgado, Gabriel,
Williams, and Siracusa that when the bus stopped to take on new passengers, two
juvenile thieves walked up and snatched the phone from her hand. The thieves
then ran off the bus with the victim in pursuit. The victim chased the thieves

Two young soccer players were robbed of cash and valuables.
The victims told police after playing soccer at Crocker-Amazon Park they were
walking home when they were approached by three other juveniles, one riding a
bike. The thieves stopped the victims and asked for the bag on one of the
victim’s shoulder. The suspects looked in the bag and found nothing they wanted
