Dear residents and community members,

In 2017, the Taraval District had an increase in the

number of auto burglary incidents, but had a decrease

in the number of residential burglary incidents. At the

beginning of this year, Taraval Station began an on-

going abatement effort, coupled with an educational

outreach program to address both crimes from multiple

fronts. Taraval Station officers will conduct operations

in different areas of the district and will identify and/or

apprehend subjects who are committing these types of

crimes. Taraval Station officers will also conduct an

educational outreach component to residents,

businesses and visitors in an effort to decrease the

number of incidents. Taraval Station looks forward to

working with you to ensure that the district continues

to be safe and vibrant.

Happy New Year!

focuses on police building ties and working closely with members of the

communities.

that coordinate with city agencies to provide outreach and assistance to

rehabilitate those who are dependent on illegal drugs and outreach to homeless

individuals to connect them with resources and support.

to Irving St, West Portal Ave and Ocean Ave.

be held continuously. Officers and sergeants also attend meetings with

merchants groups, business groups, development authorities and others.

Concerns are voiced and addressed through problem solving.
