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.
Muni Related Thefts/Robberies:
Commuters who take public transportation have been targeted by cell phone
thieves. In the last couple weeks there has been two incidents involving MUNI
related thefts and robberies here in the Ingleside District. In one of the
cases, witnesses told the officers at the scene that the suspect was watching the
victim as she focused only on her smart phone, paying no attention to her
surroundings. When the bus stopped, the suspect snatched the phone from her
hand and ran off the bus. If you’re not paying attention to your surroundings,
you’re wearing a target on your back. Smart phone owners need to be aware that
thieves may be watching you and ready to snatch your devices. The following is
some common advice to avoid becoming a victim: Always be aware of your
surroundings. If the bus is going to stop, stop what you are doing, look up,
look around and put your phone down or put it in your pocket. And when the bus
is in movement again you can go back to looking at it.
Arrests:
3:00pm 200 Blk Judson Battery
Officer Thompson responded to a battery call on the 200 block of Judson Avenue. When he arrived at the scene, he saw a female sitting on the front porch just outside of the house. She told Officer Thompson that she had confronted her roommate and told her that she needed to move. Her roommate, in turn, yelled a bunch of profanities and pushed the victim as she was walking out of the room. A physical altercation ensued between both roommates. After the fight the suspect poured Pine Sol on the victim, possibly knowing that she could have an allergic respiratory reaction. Officer Thompson talked to the suspect who stated she was only defending herself and that a male friend had to step in to break up the fight. Ultimately, both roommates were cited for the battery against each other with a pending court date. Report Number: 140591252
Serious Incidents:
6:20pm Visitacion/Schwerin Robbery
Officer Elliston and Officer Conway responded to the 100 block of Garrison
Avenue regarding a robbery that occurred. When they got to the scene, the male
victim had bandages on his face and hands and told the officers that he had been
hit on the back of his head, which caused him to fall to the ground, hitting
his face. He wasn’t sure if he lost consciousness during the robbery. Officer
Elliston immediately requested medics to the scene. The victim said that he was
walking home from the library and as he was getting close to the intersection
of Visitacion Avenue and Schwerin Street, an unknown suspect came up to him
from behind and hit him. The suspect tried grabbing his phone from his front
pocket and the victim squatted down and wrapped is hands around his waist
protecting his phone. He said that he saw another suspect join in and ended up
hitting him on the head as well. He got up and saw both of them running
eastbound on Visitacion Avenue. Officer Elliston attempted to track the
victim’s phone but was met with negative results. Report Number: 140591848
