SFPD and Walgreens Kick Off 2016
Holiday Toy Drive
In
collaboration with Walgreens drugstores, the San Francisco Police Department
today launched its 2016 Holiday Toy Drive, benefitting the City’s children in
need.
From
November 18 to December 19, SFPD will be accepting donations of new, unwrapped
toys at more than 60 San Francisco Walgreens locations. The goal is to exceed
last year’s toy drive, in which approximately 2,500 items were donated at 30
Walgreens stores for distribution to San Francisco children.
“Everyone
can make a difference in a child’s life,” said Interim Police Chief Toney
Chaplin. “San Franciscans are generous, thoughtful people and we believe they
will step up to brighten the holidays for children and provide happy memories
for years to come. We thank Walgreens for doing their part again this year to
help San Francisco youth.”
Donors can purchase or drop off a new, unwrapped toy at any San
Francisco Walgreens that features a brightly colored and marked toy drive
collection bin. Those unable to drop off a toy may also contribute to a Go Fund
Me account (https://www.gofundme.com/sfpdtoydrive2016) established by the San
Francisco Police Foundation to purchase toys for underprivileged children this
holiday season.
Safe Shopper 2016 - Holiday
Season Safety Tips
During this
holiday season, the San Francisco Police Department will be working to enhance
safety for residents, visitors and shoppers. There will be increased foot
patrols in shopping areas throughout the city, including the horse/mounted
unit, plainclothes officers and traffic enforcement.
“The San
Francisco Police Department wishes everyone a happy holiday season,” said
Interim Chief Toney Chaplin. “We also want this season of giving to be
memorable and safe for you and your loved ones. Here are some tips that will
help keep you safe.”
• Stay
alert when using electronic devices. Limit your distractions.
• Always be
alert to your surroundings and have your keys in your hand as you approach your
vehicle.
• Park
Smart: Help avoid vehicle break-ins, leave nothing visible in your car.
Consider moving your vehicle to a different location each time you load
packages in the trunk. Try to use parking lots where there are parking
attendants.
• Keep your
wallet in a hard-to-reach place and carry only the cash and credit cards that
you will need to complete your shopping.
• If
someone demands your purse, wallet, or packages, surrender them, make note of
the suspect’s description and direction they flee and call 911. Property can be
replaced.
• If you
see something, say something. If you witness criminal activity or see something
or someone suspicious, flag down a police officer, call 911 or contact
security.
• Shop with
a companion, especially after dark, whenever possible.
Please
report criminal activity to police immediately. Additional personal safety tips

Arrests:
12:07am Allison
& Mission Stolen
Vehicle
An older Jeep Cherokee with paper plates caught the
attention of Ingleside Officers Scott and Hardy. It was leaving a parking spot
in the 5400 block of Mission when Hardy and Scott first saw the Jeep. The
officers followed the Jeep as it went through the McDonalds parking lot and
continued northbound on Mission until the officers finally stopped the vehicle
at Mission and Allison. The driver stated the Jeep belonged to his “boss” and
he didn’t have any registration documents. He identified himself and said he
was on probation. A computer check revealed the Jeep was reported stolen out of
Pacifica over a week ago. That same computer check revealed that the driver was
on felony probation for auto theft out of San Francisco. Inside the jeep, the
officers found a gray backpack, 12 vehicle ignition keys, a bicycle, and a bag
containing 20 pounds of marijuana. The suspect was taken to Ingleside Station
and booked auto theft. The vehicle was towed to impound and its contents placed
in the evidence locker. Report number: 160975498

Blk Mission D.U.I
Drugs
Ingleside Station Officers Langley, Trujillo, Champlin,
Chang, and Sgt. Springer were dispatched to an address where a witness said a
man was unresponsive inside a vehicle that was stopped with the engine running.
The vehicle was blocking the entrance way to several businesses. The officers
arrived and knocked loudly on the windows, but there was no response from the
driver. They then broke one of the windows to gain entrance and turn off the
ignition and apply the parking brakes. The driver was removed from the car and
asked to perform field sobriety tests. But he refused. The officers did not
notice any indications that the driver was compromised from alcohol but
suspected it may be a narcotic. They did not notice any medical identification
bracelets or cards indicating a medical condition. A judge was contacted and he
issued a warrant for a blood test of the suspect, which was conducted at San
Francisco General Hospital. Report number: 160976010
10:22pm 100
Blk Rey Stolen
Vehicle
A known felon was spotted standing near some friends who
were next to an older Honda parked on the sidewalk. That was enough to prompt
Ingleside Officers Barajas, Lustenberger, Wells, and George to stop their
patrol car and talk to the man. When the officers approached the suspect he
quickly ran to the opposite side of the vehicle and tried to hide a package of
methamphetamine. He was placed in custody and the narcotic was kept for
evidence. The Honda turned out to be stolen and inside where many “shaved keys”
used to break into and steal vehicles. The suspect was placed in custody and
transported to Ingleside Station for booking. The stolen Honda was returned to
its owner. Report number: 160978050
10:58pm 3600
Blk Mission Battery of
a Police Officer
A police officer lost a tooth and sustained damage to one of
his eyes after responding to a fight between siblings. Ingleside Officers
Mendiola, Labson, Trumpp, Garza, and Narsaiya were dispatched to an address on
Mission to investigate a report of a brother striking his sister. When they
arrived they found the sister standing in front of the residence with a red
scratch on the right side of her face. She said her brother had hit her. The
officers went into the residence and found the brother and the mother. The
brother seeing the officers, went into his room. Officers Mendiola, Trumpp,
Narsaiya, went to the suspect’s room to talk to him. But instead of talking he
became combative telling the officers to “get out of his way”. The officers
repeatedly told him to “calm down”, but instead, he attacked Officer Mendiola
punching him the face breaking one of his teeth and bruising the area around
his right eye. The officers were able to subdue the suspect and place him in
custody. He was transported to San Francisco General Hospital for mental health
evaluation. Officer Mendiola was also transported to the hospital for treatment
of his injuries. Report number: 160978210
Serious Incidents:
8:00am Unit Blk. Persia Robbery
A 15year old student, on his way to school, was approached by
two robbers who wanted his property. The victim told Ingleside Officers Shih
and Dito that he was waiting at the bus stop when two young men approached him
and demanded his backpack. The victim ran across the street into a bakery to
escape the robbers, but they followed. Inside the bakery the student gave his
backpack to a friend who quickly ran away to escape the robbers. However, the
suspects, even if they couldn’t get his backpack, wanted something of value.
So, they took the victim’s expensive watch before escaping. The victim called
police. Later that morning, the victim received a call from a staff member at
June Jordan High School saying they had recovered his watch. It was returned to
him that day. Report number: 160980306
