Captain’s Message:
Great police work along Leland Avenue last night with two separate incidents:
Violent suspect arrested! (See Below)
Gun seized! (See Below)
We are grateful to the Police Officers from other police stations who covered patrolling the Ingleside District yesterday while we attended the funeral for Officer Michael Walsh.
I will be on foot patrol on Tuesday, July 14th from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. in Glen Park, stopping by all the businesses and meeting the merchants.
Ingleside Station officers made 6 Driving Under the Influence arrests in June!
The Police Commission will be hosting their meeting in the Ingleside District on Wednesday, July 29, 2009 at 5:30 p.m. at the Paul Revere College Preparatory School, 555 Tompkins Street. I will be presenting on the Ingleside District and updating the Police Commission on the Phase I Implementation Plan.
We so far have received over 860 surveys! We want to hear your opinions about policing in the Ingleside District. Please visit http://www.sfgov.org/police/ingleside to respond to an on-line survey or to download a copy in English
, Spanish or Chinese. You can also pick up a paper copy of the survey at the Ingleside Police Station or City Hall Room 316. The survey is available through July 13th, we are extending the date.
This survey is among the many initiatives that the Ingleside District is implementing in accordance with the best practices in policing. As you may know, Ingleside was selected by the Department and the Police Commission to implement a new model of policing as was recommended by nationally recognized police consultants. These community based recommendations are excellent and get to the core of community policing and community based problem solving. I look forward to your participation in this survey and future efforts to implement innovative ideas in community policing.

Officer Plantinga and Officer Obot were on patrol in the Sunnydale public housing area when they spotted a moving vehicle that failed to stop at a stop sign. Officer Plantinga effected a traffic enforcement stop of the vehicle.
