Captain Bailey’s tip of the week to prevent or solve crime
Tip: Video surveillance equipment installation:
If possible all residents and business owners should install video surveillance equipment outside their home or business. Video evidence is probably the big- gest investigative tool we have in the police department. It provides rock solid proof/evidence of what is happening. We have used video footage to get convic- tions on burglars, assaults, drug dealing, trespassing. As they say a picture paints a thousand words. Many times we can identify the suspect via video footage. Video on a house can not only monitor what is happening at that house but can be used to track the path taken by a suspect and or the vehicle used by the suspect. It also allows community members to monitor who comes to your door. We recently broke a burglary ring because of video cameras installed in and outside a home. Using the video camera the victim was able to surveil the suspect, call the police and relay to us every move the suspect was making in real time, including a de- scription of the vehicle involved. The burglar in this case was arrested for numer- ous burglaries in addition to the one in our district. I cannot speak enough on what a great tool these surveillance cameras are.
Please everyone take good care and be safe.

City-wide CPAB SUMMIT
On Tuesday, March 13, 2018, the City-wide Community Police Advisory Board (CPAB) Summit was held at St. Mary’s Cathedral, located at 1111 Gough Street, and was spearheaded by Commander Lazar of SFPD, and Irina of SF SAFE. The purpose of the City-wide CPAB Summit was for all the CPAB members to share information, network, and to learn from one another and what they are doing in their communities. Each CPAB group had a representative to share information, ideas and gather information to utilize with their CPAB. This year, it was requested that each District Captain and the CPAB Co-Chair were to present a five (5) minute power point presentation about their specific board’s main accomplishments for the previous year (2017), as well as plans for 2018.
Commander Lazar presented Park Station’s former CPAB Co-Chair, Larry Rosenfeld, with a Certificate of Recognition from his contribution and tireless efforts assisting with updating the CPAB guidelines. Thank you Larry for all your support.

Meet Lieutenant David Maron
Meet Park Station Night Lieutenant, David Maron (and your chef)
Lieutenant Maron is a 22 year veteran of the SFPD, who started his career with Field Training at Mission Station, followed by his probationary period at Northern Station and then his first permanent assignment at Southern Station at 850 Bryant St (aka The Hall of Justice for you old timers out there). After 4 years at Southern Station, Lt. Maron transferred to the Special Operations Group where after being there for 10 years, he was promoted to Sergeant and was assigned to Ingleside Station where his duties for 5 years involved a mix of patrol and investigations. Lt. Maron was then promoted to the rank of Lieutenant and assigned to Park Station as one of the 2 night Lieutenants.
Lt. Maron, like all police officers finds his job challenging and rewarding, but what he enjoys the most about being a police officer is the interaction with the public where he is in a position to make a positive impact. For Lt. Maron, the key for that impact is the initial first impression. Be professional always, and treat people with respect - whether they are a victim, a witness, or even a perpetrator as you gain more with honey than you do with vinegar.
On the personal side, Lt. Maron’s dad emigrated from Canada and is a retired SFPD Captain and his mom emigrated from the Philippines. Lt. Maron is married with a blended family consisting of 4 children and “two big dogs”. Lt. Maron loves the outdoors, staying physically fit, playing with his kids, and listening to music. Years ago he used to play piano and guitar and is hoping his sons will take up piano (or guitar) as he’s noticed that they are starting to tickle the ivories on their piano at home.
Lt. Maron also enjoys woodworking as a hobby, but as noted above, Lt. Maron has a passion for cooking. He hopes that his post SFPD career might include attending a culinary academy, or taking small trips to Europe to study, learn and of course eat. He loves all types of food and is always looking for another recipe to try and explore.
So welcome to Park Station Lieutenant Maron and if you see him around, please say hello feel free to ask him what’s on the menu.

Helpful tips DON’T BE CAUGHT EMPTY-HANDED!!!!
1. When placing an online or phone order, request signed confirmation upon delivery
2. Deliver packages to your office if at all possible; if not, deliver to a neighbor who will be home to sign for your package
3. If ordering from Amazon, use a self-service Amazon locker located throughout San Francisco; they will send you a notification email when the package is received. Go to Amazon.com and search for “Amazon Locker”
4. For U.S. Postal Service deliveries, you can authorize USPS to have certain deliveries left in a garage, with your neighbor, etc.; first you will need to create an account at USPS.com. Also check out “UPS My Choice” where you can log on to UPS.com and track your package to reroute, reschedule, or authorize a shipment release for your delivery. Get a PO box for deliveries for extra security
5. Shipping via UPS? Go online to UPS.com and search for “UPS Access Point”; neighborhood stores that will hold your packages for you
6. There are several apps available in San Francisco that allow you to ship to a package destination, and then will schedule the delivery to your home once you are available
7. Set up a delivery alert by email or text as to when your package has been delivered
8. Pay for insurance to cover the cost of the item shipped if lost, damaged or stolen
9. Never let a package sit unattended on your doorstep; package theft is very high in San Francisco.

Who and when to call?
3-1-1: Please contact 3-1-1 when the issue is a not an emergency, yet requires City services or, if you simply have questions regarding City services. Non-emergency situations include the following examples: damage to public property, public trees that requires pruning, defective streets or sidewalks, homeless-related issues. 3-1-1 was developed to help the community inform the appropriate City agency regarding a service request.
Non- Emergency San Francisco Dispatch Line: Pease call the non- emergency dispatch line (415-553-0123) when the scenario does not need immediate response from the San Francisco Police Department. For example, if there is a loud party, a group of loud juveniles loitering in front of your residence, noise complaints, doubled parked vehicles, or a homeless/nuisance related issue. The non-emergency line is for situations that require the police, but do not require an immediate police response.
9-1-1, please call 9-1-1 immediately if there is a police, fire, medical, or any other emergency. The purpose of San Francisco's 9-1-1 Emergency Telephone System is to provide the community an immediate response of police, fire, or medical personnel for emergency occurrences. To accomplish this, it is imperative that the calls received on the 9-1-1 line be restricted to those situations that require immediate dispatching of police, paramedic, or fire department personnel. For example, crimes or fires that are in-progress, or medical emergencies.
The San Francisco Police Department district station telephone numbers and emails are not monitored. Questions will be answered in the order we receive them. Station emails are not for making police reports nor for reporting a crime. If you need to make a police report, you can call 415-553-0123 or go to your district police station. If you have an emergency, please call 9-1-1.

Park Station’s Vision & Values
In the above photos, Captain Una Bailey
I absolutely love police work and I love all that we as SFPD can do to help victims, solve and prevent crimes, and am a firm believer in the power of the community. We, as a de- partment, are only as successful as our partnerships with the community. I learned very early in my career how important community involvement is both in solving and preventing crimes and also in the creation of safe desirable neighborhoods. I look forward to building and main- taining community involvement and relationships over the coming years. I know that when we work together, we will create a district that will be safe and sound for all.
