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.

Report number: 17070940311:15am Unit. Blk. Gladstone Hot Prowl BurglaryA young man asleep downstairs in his parent’s home was awoken by the doorbell. He told Ingleside Officers Hopkins and Thompson that he ignored the three rings and continued to lie in bed until he heard a loud “bang” from front of his home. The victim got out of bed and opened his bedroom door and looked up the stairway to the main level of the home. At the top of the stairs was an unknown man, holding an orange crowbar, who said, “What you got”. Fearing for his safety, the young man ran out of the house through the garage door with the suspect close behind. The suspect jumped into an older Nissan 280ZX, which sped away on Gladstone. A search of the home determined the suspect entered by prying open a security gate and then breaking in through the front door. Several items were tossed in an upstairs bedroom but it was undetermined whether any items were taken.
