The event itself takes place in Golden Gate Park in the Robin Williams Meadow. There will be a number of Street closures as a result of this event. Anyone who is in and around this area on Friday 4/20/18 between the hours of 10am and 9pm can expect traffic delays. My advice is to avoid the area and pick an alternate route to get to your destination. If you are coming to the event it would be best to use public transport. SFPD will have an increased presence in the area in an effort to ensure the safety of all, both the residents and the attendees. The 420 event itself will happen in the park and typically when most people leave the event they go to Haight Street. There will be no open containers of alcohol allowed on Haight Street and this law will be enforced. Essentially we will be doing everything we can to ensure the safety of all. Each year we have seen tens of thousands of people attend this event and for the most part the event is peaceful. We do not anticipate anything different happening this year. We will as always be prepared for any eventuality. If you plan on attending the event we are providing information in this newsletter about the event including road closures, muni reroutes and what you can and cannot bring into the venue. We are also providing information regarding the 420 hotline we will be operating between the hours of 11am and 8pm to field concerns from residents, merchants and the community pertaining to the event. Residents and business operators will be allowed vehicle access on their street if necessary during the road closures. Please stay safe.

Park Police Station Page 19 Captain Bailey s tip of the week to prevent or solve crime I want to take this time to remind everyone to record the serial numbers of all your valuables i.e. bikes, tools etc. You can do this by simply taking a photo of the item and then zoom in to take a photo of the serial number. Most people have smart phones and you can easily use your phone camera to achieve this. This is really great information for you to have in the event you are a victim of a theft. We can post the photos on flyers and record the serial numbers of your possessions so that in the event we make an arrest of an individual with stolen items your items will be easily recognizable. Officers can also identify them easily if they are being sold at any location. Bottom line having this information increases your chances of being reunited with your stolen items. It also increases the chances of these thieves being held accountable for their crimes. Please take the time, and review the SF SAFE form on the next page (page 3) for helpful residential safety tips. Please everyone take good care and be safe. Captain Una Bailey

Park Police Station Page 22 Safety tip from S.F. Safe Safety tip for your home: Help first responders by making sure your address numbers are mounted on a high-contrast background, and that they re illuminated when it s dark.
Park Police Station Page 23 Helpful tips DON T BE CAUGHT EMPTY-HANDED!!!! 1. When placing an online or phone order, request signed confirmation upon delivery 2. Deliver packages to your office if at all possible; if not, deliver to a neighbor who will be home to sign for your package 3. If ordering from Amazon, use a self-service Amazon locker located throughout San Francisco; they will send you a notification email when the package is received. Go to Amazon.com and search for Amazon Locker 4. For U.S. Postal Service deliveries, you can authorize USPS to have certain deliveries left in a garage, with your neighbor, etc.; first you will need to create an account at USPS.com. Also check out UPS My Choice where you can log on to UPS.com and track your package to reroute, reschedule, or authorize a shipment release for your delivery. Get a PO box for deliveries for extra security 5. Shipping via UPS? Go online to UPS.com and search for UPS Access Point ; neighborhood stores that will hold your packages for you 6. There are several apps available in San Francisco that allow you to ship to a package destination, and then will schedule the delivery to your home once you are available 7. Set up a delivery alert by email or text as to when your package has been delivered 8. Pay for insurance to cover the cost of the item shipped if lost, damaged or stolen 9. Never let a package sit unattended on your doorstep; package theft is very high in San Francisco.
Park Police Station Page 24 Who and when to call? 3-1-1: Please contact 3-1-1 when the issue is a not an emergency, yet requires City services or, if you simply have questions regarding City services. Non-emergency situations include the following examples: damage to public property, public trees that requires pruning, defective streets or sidewalks, homeless-related issues. 3-1-1 was developed to help the community inform the appropriate City agency regarding a service request. Non- Emergency San Francisco Dispatch Line: Pease call the non- emergency dispatch line (415-553-0123) when the scenario does not need immediate response from the San Francisco Police Department. For example, if there is a loud party, a group of loud juveniles loitering in front of your residence, noise complaints, doubled parked vehicles, or a homeless/nuisance related issue. The non-emergency line is for situations that require the police, but do not require an immediate police response. 9-1-1, please call 9-1-1 immediately if there is a police, fire, medical, or any other emergency. The purpose of San Francisco's 9-1-1 Emergency Telephone System is to provide the community an immediate response of police, fire, or medical personnel for emergency occurrences. To accomplish this, it is imperative that the calls received on the 9-1-1 line be restricted to those situations that require immediate dispatching of police, paramedic, or fire department personnel. For example, crimes or fires that are in-progress, or medical emergencies. The San Francisco Police Department district station telephone numbers and emails are not monitored. Questions will be answered in the order we receive them. Station emails are not for making police reports nor for reporting a crime. If you need to make a police report, you can call 415-553-0123 or go to your district police station. If you have an emergency, please call 9-1-1.

We, as a department, are only as successful as our partnerships with the community.
