GENERAL MANAGER S REPORT Recreation And Park Department Commission Meeting -- Thursday, February 7, 2008

Transcription

1 The General Manager accepted the following gifts on behalf of the Department in accordance with the gift policy: The Recreation and Park Department is pleased to accept a generous donation of a 1999 Ford E passenger Van for dedicated use by the Project Insight Program. The van is valued at $6, and was donated by Eugene Tintoc. Mr. Tintoc has no financial interests involving the City and County of San Francisco. In-Progress Items: Vending Machines at Recreation and Park Department locations. Following is a table that outlines where vending machines are located on SFRPD properties. We are in the process of confirming this information through a survey from the operations division. On average, the vending machines we have generate about $80.00 per machine to the Department. There has been no formal policy for vending machines on RPD property. Through the years, field staff has independently made arrangements for vending machines rather than a formal RFP type of contract or relationship with any of the vendors who currently supply the food and beverage in the machines. RPD partnered with other city departments in an RFP process for a single-source city-wide vendor in 2005, which ultimately failed. The City has indicated it will again attempt to issue an RFP for a City-wide provider for healthy options vending machines. RPD will be a part of that if we determine that revenue generation is possible for the Department, rather than cost recovery for electricity, and improve service to park users by providing nutritional options at reasonable prices.

This wasn t a robbery but you will understand. Plainclothes officers were in the above area when they witnessed your standard drug transaction. The seller and buyer discuss one hands the other the drugs for which the buyer provides the money. The buyer was from Fresno so wasn t that experienced a buyer. She said she was walking in the lake area when the seller said, You want to buy some greens? Buyer thought dude meant marijuana so she agreed. Well seller hands her the weed and she pays him and they part ways. Officers moved in and stopped the whole lot. The seller had wrapped up tree leaves to look like pot and the unsuspecting consumer went for the bunk. He was arrested for selling and she wrote out a statement regarding the incident. He is a usual seller of pot from the lake area. Robbery Attempt Tuesday, October 23, 2007; 10:00 p.m.; Twin Peaks Victims were enjoying the view when they were approached by two suspects (Hispanic males, years). One of the two suspects asked a victim where he was from and victim told him. Suspect then asked him how much money he had and if he wanted to buy some weed. Victim declined. Suspect then motioned to his pocket and told victim that he would use his gun if victim didn t give up the cash. Victims then ran towards their car and fled. The suspects were last seen on the sidewalk of Twin Peaks viewpoint. Officers searched the area but the suspects were gone. Assault, Aggravated, with Force Wed.

5 Possession of Opiates / Violation of Stay Away Order Wednesday, October 24, 2007; 11:40 a.m.; Alvord Lake Area Officers observed an individual who had a stay away order from the locations as a result of a prior drug arrest. The officers placed the subject under arrest. The arrest search recovered several pills of an opiate. The suspect was then booked. Drunk Drives into Park Station Lot Thursday, October 25, Hours We applaud the latest innovation in time saving. Park Station Officers were following an erratic driver who lost control of his vehicle on Kezar Drive and spun out hitting the curb causing two flat front tires. The driver was able to gain control of his vehicle, get back on the roadway and turn left into the Park Police Station parking lot where he was detained and after a short investigation arrested for driving while intoxicated Possession of Hallucinogenic for Sale/Arrest Thursday, October 25, 2007:2:20p.m. Sharon Meadows GGP Officers observed several individuals seated in a group and noticed that one of the subjects was displaying a baggie of marijuana to the others. As the officers approached the suspect abruptly pulled the baggie from view. This individual was placed under arrest and a search of his backpacked revealed several large plastic zip lock bags of marijuana and another baggie full of psilocybin; mushrooms. The suspect produced a printed letter of Physician Recommendation for Therapeutic Marijuana. Additional packaging material and $920 in cash constant with street sales of marijuana and/or psilocybin. After consultation with the Narcotics Division the suspect was only charged with Possession of Hallucinogenic for Sale. The officers at Richmond Station are well aware of an auto burglar, who had been arrested in Golden Gate Park so often; a judge issued him a stay away order for the entire park area. Recently released from prison, he was seen in the park and officers were on alert. On 10/26/07, plain clothes officers were on JFK Dr and Bowling Green Dr, (near the Conservatory) and spotted the suspect. It appeared that the suspect was going to flee, but he recognized the plainclothes officers from his previous arrests and gave up without incident. He was arrested for the violation of the stay away order, and a parole warrant. On 10/29, at Fulton and LaPlaya officers went to a call of a robbery at 7:50pm. US Park Police officers were standing by with the victim who had been hit over the head with an unknown object. The victim told the officers that he had been in the park and saw the suspect close by. As the victim bent over, the suspect came up from behind him, and struck him in the head. When the victim fell to the ground, the suspect took his wallet from his pocket and fled. The suspect was located on the 800 block of LaPlaya and charged with robbery. Buy/Bust Operation; Sales of Marijuana Arrests Friday, October 26, 2007: 2:00p.m. Upper Haight Street & Alvord Lake Officers from Park addressed the persistent drug sales in the Upper Haight Street area. After the first transaction and arrest for sale of marijuana, thing got a little interesting. The second undercover officer was recognized by one of the Bad Guys and began informing others on the street. After arresting this individual for interfering in an investigation and violating his stay away order, the officers regrouped and started again. Two transactions later, a drug seller tried to run from the police; big mistake. After a zigzag foot chase this felon could not out run the long arm of the law and was captured after a brief struggle. He was booked after clearance at SF General Hospital. Continuing on, the officers needed another undercover operative to replace the snitched off officer. A recently promoted Sergeant and new arrival at Park Station stepped up and volunteered as the undercover officer; a star was born. No sooner had she exited the drop vehicle when she had her first drug seller in tow. On her second venture she managed to get ½ block before snagging another. The officers estimate that our new page 5 of 11

October 30, 2007, 4 pm; Hippie Hill, GGP Two brothers were hanging out on Hippie Hill when 2 suspects (white male years old and a black male years old) told the boys to empty their pockets. They did so but then the fight began. One brother was able to get out and flagged down a passing police car. They searched the area, and were able to locate the second brother, but not the suspects. Loitering Where Narcotics are Sold/Used 10/31/07 3:00 p.m. Alvord Lake, GG Park While on foot patrol the beat officer observed a suspect who he had admonished in the past for loitering where narcotics are sold.

Upon seeing the officers most of the group packed up and left the area. One guy tried but he was so drunk (as he always is) he was unable to get away fast enough. He has been arrested many, many times for public intoxication and maintaining a public nuisance. This time instead of sending him on his way officers arrested him for the many minor warrants (for public intoxication) that he had for his arrest. They also articulated in their report what a problem that this guy is to the community because of his inability to maintain himself. Hopefully there will be consequences for his actions this time and he gets the help he needs. 11/19/06 at 1955hrs., at 20th and Church Sts., a White Male victim was walking through Dolores Park when 2 Black Male Suspects approached the victim by the bridge area. 1 suspect pointed a pistol at the victim and demanded his property, which the victim gave up.

They even knew exactly where he was supposed to be, in court for the charge that they had arrested him for. So they politely told him to leave the area AND go to court.

This assault caused Grandma to experience difficulty breathing and she was transported by ambulance to Kaiser. A description of the car was broadcast, and sharp-eyed officers saw the car at 18th and Castro.

They stopped the guy and arrested him for a bunch of warrants that he had. He and the bike were taken to the station. The kid was brought to the station where he positively identified his bike. He didn t remember the serial number though. Officers responded to the bike shop where the bike was purchased and managed to obtain a copy of the original sales receipt, with the serial number listed. It was a match and the suspect ended up confessing to the fact that a friend had taken the bike from a garage and giving it to the suspect.

Once on scene the officers located 2 women who stated they had just been robbed at gun point. The 2 women were visiting San Francisco from Denmark and only had been in the city for about 8 hours when this incident occurred. The women stated that they were waiting for the bus when the suspect approached them and produced the gun and demanded the wallets of the victims. Numerous units responded to the area but were unable to locate a suspect. But they were able to locate another victim who was also robbed by the same suspect. page 11 of 11
