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

12:30am 100 Blk. Edna Hot Prowl Burglary
A woman was awakened by a noise at her front door. Initially
she thought it was her cat. To be sure, she got up and looked toward her front
door and saw an unknown man prying at her window and attempting to enter her
home. She yelled, “get off my property”, and the intruder put up his hand and
said, “Sorry, Sorry” and casually walked down her front stairs. She told
Ingleside Officers Ocreto and Malatesta that she watched as the suspect walked
northbound on Edna and out of sight. Report number: 160980293

Ingleside Officers Dito and Shih that one of the three grabbed the female
victim by the throat and put a gun to her stomach while demanding her property.

face that he lost consciousness. The first suspect then lifted a gold chain
