Last night the San Francisco Police Commission held a community meeting at the Tenderloin Elementary School on Turk Street to hear Captain Gary Jimenez' presentation "State of the District Report" regarding the Tenderloin Station.
Captain Jimenez' presentation was well organized and short as he went over the 44 page report.
There are over 19,000 residents in the Tenderloin (highest density in the City) including 3,500 children and 6,000 seniors. This district has the highest concentration of parolees with the additional activity of people getting off at two Bart stops from out of town.
There seems to be a very good relationship between the residents and the police who walk the beat. That is why last year homicides in this district were down to four - and all four homicides were solved with help from the community.
Tenderloin Station Goals:
- Reduce crime rate.
- Reduce the quality of life violations in the district, by increasing foot-beats throughout the district.
- Abate public nuisance with the assistance of the City Attorney's office.
- Increase awareness of pedestrian and traffic safety through education and increased law enforcement.
- Reduce number of O.C.C. complaints through continued training.
- Continue to liaison with the public for greater cooperation with law endorsement issues, referrals and assistance in the district.
Rightfully so - this seems to be a well run police station. We should be thankful.
I encourage everyone to go to www.sfgov.org/site/police and review the community forum calendar for when your Police district is having their monthly meeting. There is also a police captain email list for you to find your district and ask for District updates. The updates consist of district events and police blotters. Sometimes this report can be scary, but you also learn a lot about your district and what to lookout for.
San Francisco Police Commission - email sfpd.commission@sfgov.org to ask for the weekly police commission's agenda.
