Ingleside Police District Illegal Fireworks Hotline Established for New Year's Eve:      415-404-4002

While 911, 415-553-0123, and 311 are still in place for emergencies, non-emergencies, and service requests, Ingleside Station is staffing an illegal fireworks hotline during the hours of 1130PM to 0130AM. This number should NOT be used instead of 911 for emergencies, but should be used if there is an identifiable location in the Ingleside Police District (not simply the sounds of illegal fireworks) where illegal fireworks are being used. Call 415-404-4002 with the location and description and we will prioritize* a response. (*Prioritization can always be impacted by unforeseen events and incidents where there is an imminent threat to life which include, but are not limited to: shootings, stabbings, and persons with firearms/knives).

Regards,

                      Safe Shopper 2017 - 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 men and women of the San Francisco Police Department wish everyone a safe and joyful holiday season,” said Chief William Scott. “Whether you’re shopping for gifts or going about your daily routine, it’s important to remain careful and aware to prevent theft. Follow our tips to help keep you and your belongings 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.
• Use 311 to report auto burglaries.
• Shop with a companion, especially after dark, whenever possible.
• Shield your PIN when using ATMs or other electronic devices in public.

Please report criminal activity to police immediately. Additional personal safety tips are available at sanfranciscopolice.org/safeshopper or from San Francisco Safety Awareness for Everyone (SAFE) at sfsafe.org.

He told Ingleside Officers Scott and Siracusa that he stopped his car and noticed damage to a rear fender. He also noticed the suspect waving a large stick at him. The suspect then tried to hit the victim several times with the stick before turning and fleeing into Crocker Park.

10:28pm     3300 Blk. Mission                            Robbery
A late `night shopping spree netted some snack food and important clues for the arrest of a pair of robbers. It started when Ingleside Officers Fogarty and Zhao were dispatched to the Safeway Store on the 3300 Block of Mission. When they arrived, the night manager told the officers that two suspects, who’ve stolen from the store before, walked in and went shopping. One of the suspects was carrying an empty cloth bag. The man and woman then showed up at the checkout line with several items that they paid for. However, the cloth bag was full of items they didn’t pay for. When the manager asked for them to pay for the stolen items, the suspects walked out of the store only to be confronted by a security officer. A struggle ensued between the officer and the robbers during which the bag and contents spilled on the ground. The suspects ran away and the security officer, along with store personnel, recovered some of the stolen items. They also recovered the woman robber’s purse containing her driver’s license, social security card, debit card, keys, earrings and miscellaneous papers. Store security video will also be viewed for additional evidence of the crime. Report number: 171012059
