Ingleside District Community Meeting notes

January 28, 2011 by Elizabeth Weise

Ingleside District Community Meeting,
January 18, 2011
Captain Louis Cassanego, Commanding Officer Ingleside Station.

I.    2010 Year in Review, compared to 2009
II.    Crime from last 4 weeks, compared to previous 4 weeks.
III.    Q & A

I.    I. 2010 Year in Review, compared to 2009
— 11% decrease in overall crime: Homicides unchanged (8); Rape down 53%; Robberies down 11%; Aggravated assault down 9%.
— 2% increase in overall property crimes: Burglaries up 4% (arrests up 40%); Auto theft down 12% (arrests down 8%); Auto break-ins up 13%; Arson up 5% (arrests up 100%); Thefts by 6% (arrests up 29%).
— 2 pedestrian traffic fatalities

II. Recent Crime, last 4 weeks compared to previous 4 weeks.
— Robberies down by 15%, more robbers are using guns; 21% of the total were cellphone or IPod robberies. Walking down the street talking on the phone or listing to your IPod makes you a target.
— Aggravated assault up 64% (the previous low number was a historical low). Arrests up 100%
— Burglaries down 18%
— Commercial burglaries have increased. Crash and grab: the robbers toss a heavy object through a store window and grab whatever is close by, cash register or lottery tickets. Takes 5 -6 seconds.
— Auto theft down 35%, due to the cold weather.
— Car break-ins down 18%. They are still smashing windows’ looking around inside and grabbing whatever. 1/3 of the time they get nothing. The undercover police have been chasing them from Bernal to Noe and beyond.
— Thefts down 35%. Safeway (there are 3 in the Ingleside district) incidents were down to 8% of the total number of thefts, Safeway probably increased security over the holidays.

III. Q & A
Q: Where do the guns come from?
A: Most are stolen from homes or businesses. There is a new crew of gangs. Using a gun during robbery may be a gang initiation. There is a 10-day waiting period for gun purchase.

Q: When are the home burglaries happening?
A: During the day. Neighbors can be very helpful by reporting suspicious people loitering around a home. Also, robbers go door-to-door looking for an empty home to rob.

Q: What should we do about the phony charities going door-to-door soliciting contributions?
A: Call the police to report. Consider posting a no soliciting sign. With the sign, they can’t knock on the door, unless they are an actual charity.

Q: Will Compstat continue with Gasgon gone?
A: Yes. See http://sf-police.org/index.aspx?page=3254

Q: How are the cell phones stolen on MUNI?
A: It is common for them to be grabbed from a person sitting by the door. Most of the stolen phones are sold at 7th and Mission. Do not sit near the door and talk on the phone!

Q: Any tips on how to ID a suspect?
A: Try to notice the height, weight, shoes, glasses, and hairstyle. Eye color is good but usually difficult to see. If the suspect gets into a car, notice the type and color of the car. The exact make and model along with the license number will be very helpful.

Q: How do you call the police from a cell phone?
A: 415-553-8090. Ingleside Police Station Contact numbers are posted on the document section of the yahoo list. When you call 911 from a cell phone n SF the call goes to a dispatcher in Vallejo.

Q: What does the Captain mean by “crime community?”
A: There defiantly is a community; news of successful crimes travels quickly. For example, there was an uptick in home break-ins of Asian households shortly after a very successful burglary of an Asian household.

Q: Is “safe haven” still active?
A: Yes. Here’s how it works: The victim of a crime you can go into a store with a safe haven sign and be safe. Does anyone have info in this? I couldn’t find any information on this program and have not seen any signs.

Q: How can we get the attention of Caltrans to fix burnt out lights near 280?
A: Call 311 and/or Caltrans, be sure to get a tracking number and call beck in 3 to 4 days. If that doesn’t work call your Supervisor.

The meeting was adjourned at 8pm
