I am the new Captain of Tenderloin Station. I am honored that I was selected for this assignment. The foundation of our work at Tenderloin Station is our relationship with the community. Normally, our first contact with community members comes when an issue arises that demands a police response or is brought to us because it is unclear who, or what entity should handle the issue. When Tenderloin Station receives information about an ongoing issue, our management team works together to see what opportunities exist to eliminate or reduce the impact of the problem. Further, we evaluate whether there is a long term strategy that we can design that will sustain improved conditions created by police presence or enforcement. The leadership at Tenderloin Station roll out problem solving efforts on behalf of the community. While many of you have met the leadership, it is important to know the Patrol Officers, Footbeat Officers, and Special Assignment Officers work 24 hours, 7 days a week to patrol and improve the district. Please introduce yourself to the Officers you see in the Tenderloin so we can work together as a team to resolve issues in the district. Please see the final page of this newsletter for information on how to contact the Tenderloin Station management team and members of Tenderloin Station.

3 Page 3 Citizen and Officer of the Month Featured Officer of the Month Richard Cibotti How long have you worked in the Tenderloin? I was transferred to Tenderloin Station in September of 2010, so 7 years. I am on the midnight watch and am usually assigned to the 3-car. What drew you to law enforcement? My grandfather retired from the San Francisco Police Department around the time I was born. Although he passed away when I was very young, I still remember him talking fondly about being a police officer. I remember one time when I was little he took me on a tour of Taraval Station, before it was renovated. He showed me around the station and I got to see the holding cells. I always thought that was pretty cool. Featured Citizen of the Month Coming in January...
