Please follow us on Twitter @SFPDCentral Monthly Community Meeting As a reminder, our community meeting days have changed. I have moved the meetings to the first Monday of the month from 6:00-7:00 p.m. This month s meeting will be on February 6, 2017 at the Italian Athletic Club. I hope to see you there as we discuss the current crime and community issues in the district. 311 APP Captain David Lazar Commanding Officer Central Station I would like to take a moment to remind everyone of the services offered by 311. You may download their app and use it to report encampments, trash and a variety of issues to be addressed by the City. It takes a minute to download and use. Traffic Safety A reminder to everyone to slow down and give yourself enough time to travel through the district. Especially during the wet weather. Our number one collision injury is a pedestrian struck while legally in a crosswalk. Please make sure to make eye contact with the driver, ensure their car has come to a complete stop and then proceed. Be careful! The Department s Motorcycle officers have spent a lot of time in our district lately. This includes over 30 citations in the last couple of weeks for speeding in the Broadway Tunnel. We are spending more time there then in recent history. Our enforcement time varies and one never knows if their speed is on radar. Please let everyone know to slow down in the Broadway Tunnel. We are starting to increase enforcement as well at Clay and Kearny. In addition, Sergeant O Mahony on the midnight watch has been leading a team of officers conducting Lidar enforcement (new version of radar) for speeding vehicles. We are serious about vehicles slowing down in the district.
2 Page 2 Cell Phone Thefts One of my newest readers of the newsletter, a retired Inspector from the SFPD, gave me a great reminder about a message to everyone. When a person is walking down the street, there is a possibility their cell phone could be taken right out of their hand. The problem doesn t just involve having to spend a small fortune getting a new phone and fixing the service but the person is now exposed to identify theft. In other words, the suspect has access to your personal information and there is a possibility that other problems related to expenditures and credit will occur shortly thereafter. The bottom line is to safeguard your phone by concealing it and not using while in public. Transfers I would like to congratulate Officers Ralph Vallimont and Bart Sullivan for completing the Field Training Program and I wish them the best in their new assignments. I welcome to Central Station Officers Trevor Roberts and Tecia Clifford. Super Bowl Weekend This weekend is Super Bowl weekend. It is hard to believe that it has been one year since we hosted Super Bowl 50. Central Station Officers were assigned to Super Bowl City for 9 straight days. I am sure the Houston Police Department is busy hosting Super Bowl 51. As a reminder, please drink in moderation this Sunday. Do not drive and if you have to travel, use public transportation or other means. Consider traveling with a friend. Great Arrest in Chinatown! Over the last couple of years, I have stressed the importance of video cameras to provide an extra layer of protection for your home or business. I have numerous examples of cases where we have made an arrest based on an identification from the video. I have often thought if there was no video, there would be no case with a slim chance of apprehending a suspect. This was the case this week in Chinatown where an individual was seen on camera on Waverly Alley breaking the glass door to a Family Association. When we saw the video, we instantly knew who it was. That day, Officer David On placed him under arrest and Sergeant Quoc Do did an incredible follow up investigation. As a result of their diligent work, we linked this suspect to a vandalism on Pagoda Alley as well. Why this case was even easier to solve was because it was the same person arrested by Central Station Officers a few weeks ago when he randomly began kicking and badly damaging cars on Waverly Alley. We had a video of these incidents and as a result made the arrest. These are three cases of expensive vandalism which potentially would go unsolved without video. Something to consider?
3 Page 3 New Paint Last, Central Station has essentially looked the same inside since it was built around 1968. Although we are going to keep the same color in the front office, I decided to change the color in the Assembly Room. I should have realized how hard it was to get 140 officers to agree on a color. When that didn t work, I picked one, but it didn t come out too well. Luckily, we caught it early and finalized the decision with a nice grey. Anyways, we now have a slightly new look. Have a great weekend and Gung Hay Fat Choy!- Year of the Rooster! Captain David Lazar Central Station

13 Page 13 Each month features a citizen who represents the unique flavor of the Central Police District. This month we interviewed Joseph Omran. Joseph is on the Board of the Nob Hill Association and the Community Police Advisory Board. Our featured citizen of the month is Joseph Omran, who is a native San Franciscan, which is rare these days. Joseph has been an instrumental part of the Nob Hill neighborhood for the past 30 years; he and his brothers are the ones who opened and operated Lebeau Nob Hill Market. Joseph is the sole survivor of the original team, but his son, Alexander, joined him several years ago as the General Manager. Alexander hopes to carry on the tradition of Lebeau Nob Hill Market, a friendly, delicious, family oriented market, which has been serving the Nob Hill neighborhood since 1984. Joseph serves on the board of the Nob Hill Association and Captain Lazar s Community Police Advisory Board. He has helped organized the monthly Saturday sweep with the help from the Department of Public Works. Joseph has attempted to create some public awareness to become personally connected to the community. Joseph says, It hasn t been easy. The community has lost much of the human touch of neighbors knowing neighbors. Too much disconnect has made it very challenging to create a good sense of community. As a small community supported business who depends on the neighborhood, the challenges are always ever present. We are very grateful that the community continues to support us, without them, there is no us. Joseph believes the Central District is the heart of the city, it encompasses the most dynamic features of our wonderful city.
