Notes from Ingleside Community Meeting 5/21/13

Thanks to our neighbors at BernalSafe for providing notes from Ingleside Police Station Community Meeting.

A few highlights:

There was a 44% drop in violent crimes from March to April. Robberies are still up 42% YTD, but there has been a 15% decrease in all other violent crimes YTD
Robberies have been trending down the past three months. They can’t say exactly why, but arrests are up a LOT, and the police have been using Compstat to deploy resources to high-crime areas
Property crimes are up 17% YTD, with the biggest driver being theft from autos (up 71% YTD, but also declining in recent months)
Personal thefts are up – again, it’s largely phones, iPads, laptops left in cars or at Starbucks when you go to the bathroom (do NOT do that). This category also includes shoplifting

Upcoming Events:

Police Commission meeting in Ingleside – Weds., 5/29, 6pm in the Balboa High School Green Room, 1000 Cayuga. Captain Falvey will present some information, and then there will be Q&A with commissioners and a time for public comment
“School’s Out” Traffic Safety and Enforcement. Two trailers, three motorcycle officers – focusing on areas kids hang out when not in school. Education and enforcement so motorists look out for kids
