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.

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.
Heat
wave:
Many residents are leaving their windows and
doors open in an effort to keep cooler as the temperature increases during
these gorgeous sunny days. Be extra careful, especially when you leave your
home, paying attention to secure the windows and doors when you leave. Burglars
are always looking for the easiest way inside your home. Don’t give them the
opportunity for the easy access. Make sure to secure these entry points and
leave them locked when you are not around. A third of all the burglaries
committed in the Ingleside district during the month of April were due to open
garages and unlocked or open windows. Also, remember to keep hydrated with lots
of water!!
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:
8:40am Cortland/Ellsworth Burglary Tools
Officer Deering and Officer Johnson responded to a back-up call from Officer Parker and said he needed a unit at the 700 Blk of Cortland Avenue for a suspicious male casing vehicles. When they arrived they saw a male walking eastbound towards Cortland Avenue that matched the description. The two officers exited the vehicle and immediately detained him. They conducted a computer search and found that he was currently on active probation with a warrantless search condition. They then proceeded to search the suspect and found a tool called a “Window punch” hidden in his left shoe. The officers recognized that a window punch is commonly used as a burglary tool used to break into cars. They seized the tool and cited the subject for possession of a burglary tool and released him from the scene. Officer Parker said he saw the suspect walking on Cortland stopping at each parked car and looking into each vehicle. Report Number: 140610993
Serious Incidents:
2:30am 29th/Mission Robbery
Officer Clemente and Officer Dominguez were dispatched to
the intersection of 29th St. and Mission Street regarding a purse
snatch. When they arrived at the scene they saw a female victim sitting on the
curb crying. She had blood on her hands and had minor abrasions on the side of
her back. A taxi driver told the officers that he was driving on 29th
St. and as he approached Mission Street he saw the female victim standing on the
sidewalk with an unknown female. The taxi driver saw the female suspect grab
the phone from the victim’s hand and ran to a get- away car. The female victim
ran to the car and smashed the window and managed to get dragged in the
process. She told the officers that the suspects took her purse that
contained her credit cards. Report
Number: 140610501
8:55pm Crescent/Agnon Robbery
Officer Gonzalez and Officer Kerlegan were dispatched to
Crescent Avenue and Leese Street regarding a robbery with a gun. When they got
to the scene they talked to the victim who told them that he was walking on
Crescent Avenue when he felt a tug on the back of his shirt. He turned around
and saw an unknown male suspect holding a silver handgun in his right hand. The
unknown suspect demanded his money and his cell phone. The victim gave him his
phone and his wallet that had all his information and credit cards in it. The
unknown suspect grabbed the items and fled the scene by jumping into a faded
red 90’s model sedan. Unfortunately, the victim had no tracking on his cell
phone and he was not injured. The officers searched the area and were met with
negative results. Report Number: 140613113
