Captain’s Message
Traffic Issues:
Richmond Station Officers will be focusing extra attention on the Balboa Street corridor this week in an effort to increase traffic, pedestrian, and bicycle safety. This is in response to community input, especially complaints regarding motorists failing to stop for stop signs. In addition, the radar trailer has been deployed on Turk Street near Stanyan in an effort to remind motorists to slow down and obey all posted speed limits.
Auto Burglaries:
The Outer Richmond, especially Point Lobos and the Great Highway is experiencing a spike in auto-burglaries. If you live, work, or park in the area for recreational activities, please remember to lock your vehicle and do not leave any property visible inside of it. Please dial 911 if you observe suspicious persons loitering around vehicles or looking into parked cars (casing). Many of the vehicle’s which have been targeted have been rental cars belonging to tourists which had property left inside (such as GPS devices, suitcases, back-packs, luggage, and purses). Richmond station has been conducting extra patrols and enforcement operations in this area. In addition, we have been placing auto-burglary advisory leaflets on parked cars in the area to educate the public of this problem.
Our next Community meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 15, 2012 at 7pm. It will be in the Community Room, here at Richmond Station.
Richmond Station distributes an email newsletter every Friday. Our newsletter, which is sent to several hundred email addresses, contains information about recent crimes, arrests and upcoming events in the District. To be added to this list, please email us at [email protected].
