Russian Hill Property Crime
There has been a lot of coverage in the media lately about the property crime issue in Russian Hill. I readevery report and pay close attention to the crime situation. The vast majority are cars that are operated bytourists and get broken into. The community also frequently communicates with me about the problem. I amworking with the community and internally at Central Station to come up with a long term solution to addressthis issue. In the meantime, beginning last Sunday, I placed officers, on a rotating basis, on patrol in RussianHill during the day and evening hours, contained to a 6 square block radius. We are already noticing adifference!
By the way, Officer Gregory Burchard had the assignment last night on Russian Hill and noticed a stolen carat Leavenworth and Lombard. The suspect was taken into custody within minutes. The car had been stolenyesterday from a resident of the Mission District. A great arrest!
Shots Fired at Coit Tower
On May 1, 2016 at 3:48 a.m., there was a report of shots fired in the parking lot of Coit Tower. A suspectfired multiple shots in the air and fled in a vehicle. This is the kind of case which is very hard to solve andchallenging to apprehend the suspects. Thanks to the incredible work of Sergeant Kevin Murray, led byLieutenant Valerie Matthews of the Station Investigations Team, the suspect in this case was apprehended athis home in the Bayview District. As a result of a search warrant, we recovered 4 firearms and a rifle! Greatwork keeping our community safe.
A Frequent Crime Trend
I am noticing more cases lately where the victim is in a coffee shop or other establishment and momentarilywalks away from the table, leaving their backpack or purse behind. In a matter of seconds, the suspect takesthe property and flees. There was a recent case where the victim had an expensive laptop, camera and$450 in cash. Please be careful.
Sexual Assault Suspect Captured
There was a recent sexual assault which occurred in the Northern District. Chinatown Foot Beat Officer NavinChan recognized the suspect from the crime bulletin as a person who frequents Chinatown. Around this sametime, a shop owner saw the segment on the news and he too recognized the suspect and phoned the policeresulting in the suspect’s capture. When people ask, “What is Community Policing?” This is a good example.
Another Great Stolen Auto Arrest
Officers Edmund Huang, Carmichael Reyes, Derek Christensen, James Johnson, Robert Ramirez,Reginald Pena, Joseph Marte and Brandon Harris were all involved in the arrest of an auto theft suspect onMay 7, 2016 at Columbus and Green. The suspect was in the possession of nearly 6 pounds of Marijuana(possession for sale), an M80 destructive device and other narcotics paraphernalia. Great work!
Speaking of Frequent Crimes
Another frequent offense lately is when a person is distracted by looking at their cell phone while walkingdown the street. All of a sudden, a suspect will grab the cell phone out of the victim’s hand and will take offrunning. Something for all of us to consider.

Robbery Arrests
There were two outstanding robbery arrests in the Central District this week. The first happened on the 500block of Broadway. Officers happened to be at the right place at the right time at Broadway and Kearnywhen they saw the suspects running. Officer Justin Leach yelled to the suspects, not knowing why they wererunning, “Why are you running?”
The suspect replied, “Someone got robbed,” as he and another suspect ran down Kearny towards Columbus.Just then, the victims yelled out to the officers, “They have a gun, they tried to rob me!” while pointing to thesuspects. As a result, Officers Leach, Srinivas and Kajasa took one of the two suspects into custody. Thesuspect was armed with a .40 caliber firearm, over 20 rounds of ammunition and a few firearm magazines.The second robbery occurred at Hyde and Beach when a juvenile and adult suspect pulled a knife on thevictim and robbed them. The victim called 911, gave a great description and followed at a safe distance(not recommended). Officers Jessica Zamora and Francesca Murphy responded right away and took thesuspect into custody!
Two incredible arrests which demonstrate the dangerous work officers do in our City on a daily basis in orderto keep the neighborhoods safe.

CentralStation is always included in these emails and respond as needed. Now there are officerswalking up and down the Filbert and Greenwich steps, sometimes twice a day!
In the last five years, she have noticed more of a police presence in Central District andmore participation in community events in an attempt to gain trust and reduce fear. Therehas also been much more participation and creativity by police and others to look forways to decrease the problems and crime in every neighborhood.

interviewed Daryl Babbit. Daryl is on the
