The next community meeting at Ingleside Station will be held on January 21, 2014.  Thank you.




Outstanding Police Work:  Members of the Ingleside Police Station have been hard at work, while putting their lives on the line, and recovered a total of five guns between a five day period, beginning Oct 31, 2013 to Nov 5, 2013. Among the weapons recovered were three handguns, one shotgun and one Tech-9 sub-machine gun all stemming from four separate incidents. Of the five subjects taken into custody, two were on probation and had extensive police records. We strongly believe that these great arrests may have prevented some serious crimes from taking place. Thanks to these great officers, the streets are a little saferJ.


The San Francisco Neighborhood Emergency Response Team (NERT) is free training from the San Francisco Fire Department in how to help yourself and your neighbors prepare for and respond to a disaster by working together. The 20-hour training, taught by First Responders, includes personal preparedness, light search and rescue, disaster medicine, shutting off your utilities, and how to participate as a member of a neighborhood response team.  NERT also offers continuing training for graduates and activities that support building robust neighborhood teams.  For more information, visit the NERT website at http://sfgov.org//sffdnert, or contact Lt. Erica Arteseros at (415)970-2022 or sffdnert@sfgov.org



Are you someone who is interested in disaster preparedness and wants to help out your community while working hand in hand with law enforcement? Then the ALERT program is for you!                                     
                                            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.

The next ALERT training class has been scheduled for Jan. 18th, 2014, from 8:00am-5:00pm. This class will be held at the San Francisco Police Academy, in the parking lot bungalow.


Scam Alert:  Here is how it works: the suspect will call the victim and identify himself as a PG&E employee.  The suspect will ask for the victim by name and ask if he/she is the owner of a particular business or property.  Once the victim replies yes, the suspect tells the victim that his/her bill is delinquent in a specific amount.  The suspect then tells the victim that he/she needs to pay the delinquent bill by a certain time or their service will be terminated.  The suspect instructs the victim to buy MoneyPak cards in a specific amount.  The suspect then instructs the victim to read the card's code numbers to him over the phone.  Once that is done, the money is gone and the scam is complete.

The suspect will give the victim a call-back number that goes to a voicemail that identifies itself via recording as PG&E.

If you receive a call like this, please call the customer service number on your billing statement to confirm the call is legitimate.  If that call turns out to be a scam, please have a police report made


Arrests:

6:05pm       100 Blk Miraloma                  Drugs
Ingleside Officers Austin, Kerlegan, Guzman, and Gonzalez responded to a call of a mentally unstable man in the area of the 100 block of Miraloma Drive. When they arrived on scene, the officers located the individual matching the broadcast description and detained him. A computer check showed he had an outstanding warrant and a search of his belongings turned up a quantity of methamphetamine. He was transported to Ingleside Station and booked for the warrant and illegal possession of narcotics. Report number: 131084753


11:06pm     4500 Blk Mission                    Resisting Arrest/Drugs
One of three men standing outside a bar made the mistake of flashing gang signs at three Ingleside officers driving by in their patrol car. Ingleside Officers Padilla, Barajas, and Seavey stopped and approached the three men asking for identification. Two of the men provided their correct names and birth dates and were not wanted for any outstanding warrants. They were released. But the third, the one who flashed the gang signs, wasn’t as cooperative or as innocent. First he gave the officers a fictitious name and birth date. When the officers discovered his true name and birth date they also discovered that he had no bail warrant for robbery. He was taken to Ingleside Station where, during a search, four baggies of cocaine were discovered in a pants pocket. He was booked for providing false information to a police officer, the outstanding warrant, and possession of narcotics. Report number: 131085513
    

Serious Incidents:


7:35pm       4000 Blk San Bruno               Theft
A young woman told Ingleside Officers Cvetovac and Ocreto that she was riding on the #9 Muni bus as it traveled south bound on San Bruno Avenue when she noticed a young man sitting by the rear steps of the bus. When the bus stopped at Somerset Street, the suspect grabbed her IPhone from her hand and quickly exited the bus. She told the officers that she didn’t notice the direction of his escape and she also said that her IPhone was not installed with tracking software. Video footage of the crime was requested from MUNI and is under investigation. Report number: 131085212
