  Captain’s Comments

  It has been a great two weeks serving as the Captain of Southern Police Station. I have had the opportunity to meet several members of the community including residents, merchants, and members of various community groups and organizations. The overall message is that the residents and merchants of the South of Market and Treasure Island community want quality of life and crime addressed. I would add that partnerships and problem solving are the tenants of Community Policing and the officers of Southern Station will continue to work towards identifying and addressing issues of concern.

  FOOT BEATS
  The Department a few months ago placed additional foot beat officers on Market Street. Two Sergeants and fourteen officers were originally assigned. The officers, who are assigned to the Tactical Company, have been a welcomed addition to the policing efforts on Market Street. This effort has been so successful, the Department has allocated an additional Sergeant and almost doubled the personnel. You will be pleased to see more officers walking in the downtown area.    

  I have taken a close look at the foot beat officers assigned to Southern Station. Specifically, I have been concerned with the quality of life issues along the 6th Street corridor. In the next few days, I will be assigning two beat officers to walk on 6th Street, seven days a week from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. They will be instructed to work closely with the residents and merchants on 6th Street in an effort to address community concerns.  

  ENFORCEMENT OPERATIONS
  I have worked closely with the Lieutenants to develop an enforcement plan to address street robberies, drug dealing, wanted subjects, traffic issues, pedestrian safety and auto boostings. I will report back to you in the coming weeks on the success Southern Station has had in enforcement.

     QUALITY OF LIFE
  Officers Gary Buckner and Nick Territo are assigned as the Operation Outreach Officers for Southern Station. These officers address homelessness and quality of life issues throughout the district. They work closely with the Homeless Outreach Team, the Human Services Agency and the Department of Public Health to identify and assist those individuals in need of services. Officers Buckner and Territo may be reached by cell phone at 713-1618. They have identified for me the top 5 chronic quality of life offenders in the district we now name, “Southern’s Top 5.” We will be focusing on getting these 5 individuals into services. Note that this Friday, June 6th is Project Homeless Connect at Pier 48. Please direct anyone you know that may be in need of social services to this location.

  NIGHT CLUBS
  In the coming weeks, we will be working closely with the Entertainment Commission, club owners and residents of the South of Market Community to address violence and other associated problems at the clubs. We will be developing a plan in anticipation of our up coming summer in the SOMA.

  TREASURE ISLAND
  Lieutenant Eric Vintero of the day watch has become the liaison to Treasure Island and is preparing enforcement plans to deal with traffic issues on the island. We look forward to the work to be performed there in the coming weeks.

                                                  EXPIRED REGISTRATION
  Community Policing Captain Paul Chignell of Taraval Station began a program when he was the Captain of Ingleside Station where he informed his community to e mail him if they observed a vehicle parked on the City streets which had expired registration tabs over 6 months. I’ve started this program on Treasure Island and would like to extend it to the South of Market Area. If you see a vehicle parked with expired tabs over 6 months, e mail me at david.la...@sfgov.org and I will have the vehicle towed within 24 hours.

  CAPTAIN’S COMPLEMENTARY REPORTS
  This section is dedicated to inform you of the outstanding work performed by the officers of Southern Station. I read all the police reports each day and I, along with the Sergeants and Lieutenants, identify outstanding police work performed by the officers of Southern Station. As a result, we prepare a Captain’s Complementary Report to the Chief of Police in order to recognize that officer(s) good police work.

  The follow Captain’s Complementary Reports were prepared this week:

  On Friday, May 31, 2008 at 11:00 p.m., Officer Chambers was on patrol on 5th Street traveling towards Market Street. Officer Chambers noticed the two individuals running across 5th Street and into a vehicle which was double parked. When the vehicle proceeded North on 5th Street towards Market, a victim of an armed robbery ran up to Officer Chambers and told him that he had just been robbed by those fleeing the scene. Officer Chambers pursued the violent suspects who failed yield to the officer’s red lights and siren. A low speed pursuit ensued which eventually ended up on the Bay Bridge where the suspects came to an abrupt stop and it was believed that they threw the gun, used in the armed robbery, over the rail and into the bay. Officers from Southern Station, Tenderloin Station, Central Station and the Tactical Company responded and assisted in taking four extremely dangerous armed robbers into custody. Most of the victim’s property was recovered. Officer Chambers and
 the other officers are to be commended for their quick action and bravery in apprehending those criminals!
