Thank you
A JOB WELL DONE On February 10, 2019 at approximately 6:00 PM Officers responded to Fulton and Masonic and a report of a stolen laptop. The first Officers arrived on scene and met with the victim and a witness. Officer Villaarin and Officer Salazar gave a detailed description over their police radios of the suspects and the laptop that was stolen.
The following Sergeants and Officers responded to the area to search for the suspects and stolen laptop: Sgt. O’Malley, Sgt. Friedman, Sgt. Salazar, Ofc. Aguirre, Ofc. Riechsteiner, Ofc. Cheng, Ofc. Asare, Ofc. Lewis, Ofc. Coronado, Ofc. Prescott, Ofc. Murphy, and Ofc. Street. A short time later one of the suspects was seen hiding between two vehicles, this suspect was detained. The victim and witness could not positively identify the suspect as the person who stole the laptop, so he was released.
The above Sergeants and Officers continued to search the area for the others suspects and stolen laptop. Unfortunately they were not located, but the laptop was found in the area where the suspect was hiding and it was returned to the victim. This investigation took a total team effort. The victim was very appreciative of the all the work the Sergeants and Officers did to get her laptop back and sent the following thank you note.

Citizen of the Month
Captain Bailey has named Marylou Para and her cousin Olivia Para Citizens Of The Month for the month of April
This month I am nominating Marylou Para and Oliva Para as our citizens of the month. Although their home was a victim of a burglary Marylou and Olivia had taken several steps that allowed us the SFPD to successfully arrest the perpetrator in their case. #1 The home has an app (part of the NEST program) which notifies them when someone opens their door. #2 The home has a surveillance camera that provided video footage of the suspect entering their home and exiting with the stolen items #3 One of the stolen items taken was a device that had a tracker which allowed them to track the device to a tent in the Mission. #4 At this time they smartly called the police. Marylou assured me she would never have approached the suspect/s and that is why she immediately called the police. #5 Police responded and made the arrest of the individual who was in possession of the stolen property. This individual was on probation for burglary. All the victim’s property was recovered. What a great end to an invasion of their home. This victim’s success was based on all the steps she and her cousin had taken to keep their home secure and safe and even though the culprit had made entry into her home her proactive steps allowed us to make an arrest.
Thank you Marylou and Olivia, congratulations.
Takeaway lesson- get your surveillance camera, your app that notifies you of someone entering your home and put a tracker on any device that is of value. Be safe and do everything you can to prevent being a victim but if you are take all the precautions that will allow us to take these predators into custody.

Park Station’s Vision & Values
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 I am a firm believer in the power of the community. We, as a department, 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 maintaining 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.

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.
SF 3-1-1 APP is available to use on your mobile device. Download the APP and its easy to use for many Non-emergency.
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, suspicious activities, 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.
