             The San Francisco Police Department Announces
                  Enhanced Foot Beat Deployment Strategies

The San Francisco Police Department announced today it is nearly doubling the number of uniformed foot beat officers on city streets to help prevent property and violent crimes. 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.

Instead of cooperating with the officers she became defiant, rolling up her window, and refusing to supply any ID. After a prolonged discussion, the officers gained access to the vehicle, and removed the suspect who struggled with the officers. She was placed in handcuffs while the officers searched the car.

9:00pm       Bayshore & Arleta                 Carjacking
An elderly man walked up to Ingleside Officer Garza to report a carjacking. The victim told the officer a tale almost two bizarre to be true. He said several days before, in Hayward, he was flagged down by a woman who wanted a ride to San Francisco. He agreed and they drove to the Sunnyvale Housing Projects and parked. They spent two days in the car barely talking. Finally, on Monday morning, the man told the woman he had to go to work and she had to leave the car. The woman requested he drive her to a nearby Motel. They parked and the woman refused to leave instead punching the victim in the face before driving away with the man’s car. The victim walked to a nearby convenience store, at Bayshore and Arleta, and didn’t call police out of embarrassment. When Ingleside Officer Garza went into the store, the victim decided to tell him about the carjacking. Ingleside Officer Mroz contacted the victim’s daughter who drove to the scene and gave her father a ride home. Report number: 170703217
