This strategy was developed to provide a more robust approach to identifying criminal activity and supporting the district station captains and investigators with timely and accurate, data-driven information.“We need to change the trajectory of where crime trends are going,” said Police Chief William Scott. “The data clearly shows that the presence of our uniformed personnel acts as a deterrent to crime. A more visible presence also provides the public with an increased sense of security and more opportunities to work with law enforcement to prevent crime.”The additional foot patrols are enabled by the re-purposing of personnel from investigative units and district stations. The stations will continue to focus on seven days a week beat coverage, with officers on foot and on bicycle interacting with the public. Station captains will deploy foot beat officers to known, problematic areas and have the discretion to conduct undercover operations with plainclothes patrols as well.The department’s enhanced strategy also includes a focus on education and crime prevention to address auto burglaries and crimes of opportunity, particularly in tourist areas and other neighborhoods hit hardest by these types of crimes. As part of the department’s “Park Smart” program, SFPD is distributing educational, multilingual signs and posters and other materials advising residents, visitors and tourists to not leave their valuables in their vehicle.
Arrests:2:30pm Geneva & San Jose TheftA report of a phone theft sent Ingleside Officers Paras and Leung to investigate. The young female victim told the officers she was exiting the Balboa Park BART Station when she was suddenly approached by three young women. One of the women snatched the victim’s phone from her hand and all three suspects, now followed by the victim, boarded the station’s elevator. The victim asked for her phone back but the suspect refused and all four passengers exited the elevator and started walking away. The victim then again asked for her phone. One of the suspects threw it on the ground and when the victim tried to pick it up, she was punched in the head several times and her hair was pulled. The officers called for medical assistance and Fire Department medics soon arrived to treat the victim. The three suspects were soon spotted nearby by the victim and placed into custody. BART police officers arrived and took over the investigation and the three suspects were transferred to their custody.
