Captain David Lazar

Captain’s Comments

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name
is Captain David Lazar and I have been assigned as the Commanding
Officer of Southern Station. I am serving in an interim role as Captain
McDonagh is away for the time being.

I am a fourth generation San Franciscan, born and raised in San
Francisco. I still live in the City and have chosen to raise my family
here. There is no place else I could call home.

It truly is an honor to have been selected to serve in what I
believe is the premier assignment within the San Francisco Police
Department. I have worked with many of the residents and merchants of
the Southern District over the years in previous assignments. I
recognize the hard work, service and dedication the Officers of Southern
Police Station provide on daily basis. Southern Station Officers handle
more calls for service each year than in any other police district in
the City.

This is my third assignment to Southern Station. I have always
considered Southern Station my home, having served on the night watch in
2002 under Captain Davenport and on the day watch in 2005 under Captain
O’Leary.

This is my 17th year in the Department, having been assigned to
eight of the ten district stations, four investigative assignments in
the Investigations Bureau, as the Lieutenant of the Police Academy and
for three years representing the Department on all homeless issues,
coordinating the Operation Outreach program. During the last 5 months, I
served as the Night Supervising Captain and was fortunate to get a close
look at the Southern District at night.

We have some challenges ahead of us as we near the summer months.
We must continue to address issues at the night clubs, robberies, drug
dealing and quality of life offenses. We will address these issues by
continuing our ongoing enforcement operations and vigorously pursue
those who commit serious crime in our district. Working with what I
believe are some of the Department’s finest officers, sergeants and
lieutenants, I am confident that we will achieve these and other
policing goals.

I am a strong proponent of Community Policing. It is only when the
Police Department partners with the Community and City Government that
we can properly identify and resolve problems and build trust. I will
rely heavily on the community’s input for direction on how crime and
quality of life issues are addressed in the Southern District.

I look forward to working with you and I would like to invite you
to Southern Station’s Community Meeting which is held on the last Monday
of the month at 6:00 p.m. Due to the Memorial Day Holiday, Southern
Station’s meeting will be held tonight at 6:00 p.m., at the Gene Friend
Recreation Center, 270 6th Street. Hope to see you there. Please feel
free to e-mail at david...@sfgov.org

Captains please include our information in district correspondence and
community newsletters. We are asking each district station Captain (and
any recipient of this email) to please contact our office at
415-734-3324 or 3325 if you are aware of any events (community or
otherwise) that would be appropriate venues for our SFPD Recruitment
Unit to attend to continue our recruiting outreach endeavors.

Things we are currently working on:
Currently we are in the discussions to update our www.sfpdcareers.com
website to be more user friendly and easier to navigate.

We are in active discussion with DHR to continue to streamline our
testing process and possibly consider more testing sessions offered on a
monthly basis (once the new facility is made ready for use).

We are periodically checking for the release of the next generation of
toll free 800 numbers, that we can reserve an 800 number to be used for
SFPD Recruitment that prospects can have easier access to speaking with
SFPD recruiters.

We are in discussions with the US Air Force & Air Guard, US National
Guard and the US Marine TAPS programs to link our recruiting messages
into their databases. This would give us access to full-duty enlisted
men and women who are returning from full/active duty and seeking
civilian jobs within Law Enforcement.

Updating Recruitment literature, display photos, videos as well as other
sales & marketing items used to sell SFPD to prospects seeking
employment.

Recruitment Unit hosting the Recruitment Orientation Training Sessions
for all part-time recruiters.

Brainstorming and researching other incentive packages to propose to
Command Staff for consideration, review and approval.

Gearing up for the Fall 2008 San Francisco Public Safety Expo.


Updates:
We had approximately 355 prospects to take the SFPD written examination
on April 22nd at the St. Mary's Cathedral.

Our Women's Health & Fitness Challenge for this fiscal year has been
postponed as result of proposed budgetary cuts. Should budgetary matters
improve next fiscal year, there is a possibility we may obtain command
staff approval to proceed with this event next fiscal year.

Please note the location of the written test site has been changed, as
the Bill Graham Center has closed for renovations work. St. Mary's
Cathedral is located at 1111 Gough Street and this facility has the
ability to hold a capacity of 500 test takers.

Upcoming Written Test dates:
Thursday, June 26, 2008 @ St. Mary's Cathedral @ 0800hrs

Next Lateral Class:
TBD

Other business:

Lastly, if you learn of programs, events, activities that would be
recruitment appropriate, please feel to call us at 415-734-3324/3325.

Attached is our May 2008 event calendar. Remember: Lieutenants,
Sergeants, Inspectors and Officers are approved to work recruiting
events. If you are interested in working any of the listed recruiting
events, please give us a call 734-3324/3325.

Again thank you for your support and assistance. We do appreciate it.

Several of you have been requesting information for the public regarding
the prevention of car break-ins which we are seeing more and more of in
our city. Here are several documents that SAFE has developed in response
to this issue. I hope that we can get the info out to people, in hopes
of educating residents in how they can protect themselves. Let me know
if you have additional ideas, strategies or tips that we can add to any
of these existing templates to make them work for your district. Thank
you!

Captain’s Comments

 

      I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Captain David Lazar and I have been assigned as the Commanding Officer of Southern Station. I am serving in an interim role as Captain McDonagh is away for the time being.

 

     I am a fourth generation San Franciscan, born and raised in San Francisco. I still live in the City and have chosen to raise my family here. There is no place else I could call home.

 

     It truly is an honor to have been selected to serve in what I believe is the premier assignment within the San Francisco Police Department. I have worked with many of the residents and merchants of the Southern District over the years in previous assignments. I recognize the hard work, service and dedication the Officers of Southern Police Station provide on daily basis. Southern Station Officers handle more calls for service each year than in any other police district in the City.

 

      This is my third assignment to Southern Station. I have always considered Southern Station my home, having served on the night watch in 2002 under Captain Davenport and on the day watch in 2005 under Captain O’Leary.

 

     This is my 17^th year in the Department, having been assigned to eight of the ten district stations, four investigative assignments in the Investigations Bureau, as the Lieutenant of the Police Academy and for three years representing the Department on all homeless issues, coordinating the Operation Outreach program. During the last 5 months, I served as the Night Supervising Captain and was fortunate to get a close look at the Southern District at night.

 

     We have some challenges ahead of us as we near the summer months. We must continue to address issues at the night clubs, robberies, drug dealing and quality of life offenses. We will address these issues by continuing our ongoing enforcement operations and vigorously pursue those who commit serious crime in our district. Working with what I believe are some of the Department’s finest officers, sergeants and lieutenants, I am confident that we will achieve these and other policing goals.

 

      I am a strong proponent of Community Policing. It is only when the Police Department partners with the Community and City Government that we can properly identify and resolve problems and build trust. I will rely heavily on the community’s input for direction on how crime and quality of life issues are addressed in the Southern District.

 

     I look forward to working with you and I would like to invite you to Southern Station’s Community Meeting which is held on the last Monday of the month at 6:00 p.m. Due to the Memorial Day Holiday, Southern Station’s meeting will be held tonight at 6:00 p.m., at the Gene Friend Recreation Center,  270 6^th Street. Hope to see you there. Please feel free to e-mail at david...@sfgov.org
