Captain Lazar’s Message
Captain David Lazar
Commanding Officer Central Station
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving lastweek. We spent our time passing out turkey meals toseniors through Self Help for the Elderly’s mealprogram. In addition, we passed out 4 turkey meals,paid for by the station, to four families in need.
We have been busy at Central Station this past week.Friday was the annual Christmas Tree Lighting ceremonyin Union Square. We deployed more officers than inrecent history in an effort to keep everyone safe.
Nob Hill Association
I would like to thank Ms. Barbara Mount and the Nob Hill Association for honoringme and the Officers of Central Station at their annual tree lighting ceremony onMonday evening. I am grateful for Chief Suhr attending and I am thankful for theofficers who patrol Nob Hill, working to keep the neighborhood safe!
SFPD Toy Drive
We are collecting toys as part of a City wide effort to collect toys for those inneed. Please feel free to stop by Central Station and drop off a toy!
Package Thefts
We are starting to see an increase in package thefts in our district. The holidayseason brings more packages and one of the methods of the suspects is to followthe UPS or FED Ex truck and then take the package after delivery. Please take thenecessary steps to avoid your package from being taken. One option is to have thepackage come to your work or the other is to make an arrangement with yourneighbor. There are always a few options to avoid this from happening.

I would like to take a moment to recap some great police work in the last few days:
On November 28. 2015, Officers Justin Leach and Pierre Battle captured a suspect for burglarizing aconstruction site on the 600 block of Market Street.
On November 29, 2015, Sergeant Vanderbilt, Officers Derek Christensen, Michael Reyes, and EdHuang watched a suspect at Hyde and Lombard who was standing in a nearby doorway. He wasdressed in black and appeared to be attempting to gain entry into the residence. They watched the sus-pect then go to another residence. They followed him as he tried doors and attempted to gain access tovarious residences. The officers detained the suspect at Union and Polk. In his possession were garagedoor openers, a broken keybox, a drill, handsaw and cable cutter. These officers prevented a burglarythat evening.
On November 29, 2015, Officers Ryan Jones and Kurt Macaulay responded to a person with a guncall at Fisherman’s Wharf on the 100 block of Jefferson Street. There, they encountered the suspect andtook him into custody. The suspect was armed with a .45 caliber handgun.
On November 30, 2014, Officers John Murphy and Al Ciudad captured a robbery suspect who putscissors to the victim’s neck and stole her iPhone at Pacific and Powell Streets.
Graffiti Vandal
A suspect, responsible for graffiti on the 800 block of Geary Street back in August, was convicted for hiscrime last month. The case was made by video cameras.
Traffic Safety
Thankfully, we are starting to get rain again. Please give yourself extra time to get to places if driving. Ialso ask everyone to slow down in the rain. Our most common cause of injuries is a person struck while inthe crosswalk. Please be careful!
Have a great weekend!
