Precita Valley Neighbors Monthly Meeting summary from Demece Garepis
Demece writes:
- We were highly impressed with our new Ingleside Commanding Officer David Lazar and with Mike Farrah from the Mayor’s Office. We also want to thank Adam Gubser, Northwest Bernal Traffic Calming Planner at the SF Metropolitan Transit Agency for his update.
Just a short background on Captain Lazar: He used to be an officer at Ingleside and wash the Police Departments’ Liaison with Homeless Connect: he is fully experienced in the social service deliveries of the city, and how the Police Department actively engages with people in need. He also fought for and won a Crime Analyst for the Ingleside – our 5th Lieutenant who is in charge of the overall analysis of crime occurrence. No other station has the combination of social services and crime analysis, and we have the second largest precinct in the city. Here is the summary of the Ingleside Staffing:
There are now 122 police officers, 17 Sergeants, and 5 Lieutenants.
This is more staffing than at any other time of the Ingleside Station. Ingleside Station is now fully staffed.
- Ingleside Station is now implementing its strategic plan. In Phase I Implementation, Ingleside is considering 3 major factors in working with the community: Efficiency of Response, Problem Solving of Crime Issues, and Community Engagement. In the Community Engagement section, as of April 18th, Ingleside Station is starting an infrastructure and community implementation plan. Simply put, the station is focused on 1) creating community engagement and problem solving 2) crime analysis which can guide enforcement strategy 3) real-time crime descriptions 4) implementation of a 5th Lieutenant as Crime Analyst who serves who directs the Resource Unit, which is made up of the School, Foot patrols, and Park Patrol sectors. Captain Lazar holds problem-solving meetings with the Resource Unit and his 5 Lieutenants weekly.
- Please fill out the community survey attached. This will clearly give the Station Lieutenants feedback on what type of hot spots we have typically encountered and they can better proactively deploy resource forces. The attached pdf file text is in English, Spanish, and Chinese.
- Precita Valley Neighbors Meeting representative from Ingleside Station will be Sergeant Michael Redmond until he gets promoted.!:) He or is delegate will report to all our meetings and work with us directly.
- Captain Lazatta coordinates the Neighborhood Watch Groups.
- Precita Valley Neighbors requested and received a Bike Beat: The Bike Beat officers are Officers Preston, Wilson Lewis, and Cvetovac. Give a big shout out to them, they are community resource officers equipped to handle and provide a wide range of community service information.
- Operations Outreach Officers Najarro and McCarthy are actively working with the few homeless in Precita Park to link them into housing and services.
- Commanding Officer David Lazar asks all residents who walk and listen to music to swap their white earplugs with a different color earplug. This way your mp3s or ipods won’t be as easily stolen and you wont be an easy target for a minor robbery.
- Precita Valley Neighbors will put up a sign in the Children’s’ Playground with a complete list of playground safety rules (No Loitering, No Smoking, Adults must be Accompanied with Children, etc. similar to the McKinley School Playground sign) this month.
- Precita Valley Neighbors has formally requested the soon to reopen Rite Way Market to not sell alcohol after midnight.
- Northwest Bernal Traffic Calming Update:
Adam Gubser submitted a work order to re-stripe the intersection of Coso, Bonview, and Stoneman. Stoneman/Manchester/Shotwell neighbors may want to discuss how to configure parking and/or median tree planting at Stoneman/Folsom to calm traffic. Please email Adam Gubser directly at Adam.Gubser@sfmta.org to set up a meeting. Thank you Adam!
