Notable Cases

On Wednesday, 09-27-17 at 6:10 a.m., Officer Murillo and Officer Sheldon were dispatched to the Hampton Inn on a report of a guest refusing to leave the premises. The employee of the hotel said he received a tip from the Hampton Inn regarding a reservation that was determined to be fraudulent. A subject used a mobile app to check into another room without having to go to the front desk. The hotel employee knocked on the door of the subject’s room and asked for his identification and credit card he used to book the room, and the subject could not provide the information. The clerk asked the subject to leave, and the subject refused. The officers conducted a records check on the suspect and were informed he had an outstanding warrant for larceny. The suspect had two backpacks, a suitcase and a wallet in his possession. The officers found a fraudulent California identification card in the wallet. The officers found in the subject’s suitcases many pieces of identification not belonging to the subject.

On Saturday, 09-30-17, with the help of grant funding from the North County Prevention Partnership, we conducted several minor decoy operations to see if local businesses would sell alcohol to an underage decoy. The goals of the operation were to reduce underage consumption of alcoholic beverages by deterring adults from furnishing to them outside of license premises, to deter licensed businesses from selling to minors, expand the involvement of local law enforcement in enforcing under-age drinking laws and to raise public awareness about the problem. Four businesses were cited for selling alcohol to a minor.

Community Events/Information

Volunteers needed for “Make a Difference Day” on Saturday, 10-28-17 (9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.)

On Saturday, 10-28-17, Daly City celebrates its 19th consecutive year of participation in “Make a Difference Day,” a National day of volunteerism. Since 1991, communities across the United States have participated in USA Weekend Magazine’s “Make a Difference Day”, and volunteers across the United States have donated millions of hours of service for the betterment of their communities.

Daly City residents are asked to “Make a Difference” by volunteering on one of our community projects. All volunteers are invited to attend the post-event lunch at 12:00 noon at the City Hall Plaza and Rose Garden. The lunch is generously sponsored by the Daly City Host Lions Club.

This year’s event is with the Top of the Hill Improvement Association (TOTHIA), to host a cleanup and garden maintenance day. There are now eight Project Green Space drought tolerant gardens on Mission Street. The activities there will include litter cleanup, weeding, mulching, painting garden signs and much more. The City will provide all the necessary supplies such as trash pickers, gloves, vests, shovels, plants, etc. to make this volunteer experience a success.

If you would like to learn more about “Make a Difference Day”, please contact Stephen Stolte, Sustainability Coordinator at (650) 991-8126 or at [email protected].

Nextdoor.com

Nextdoor.com is a free private social networking website for your neighborhood. This private network ensures that only those who live in your neighborhood can join; users must go through a verification process. Neighbors ask each other for business recommendations; help in locating missing pets; discuss relevant local government issues; or connect for other reasons. It is very easy to sign up, and I like the fact that the site verifies users by addresses, and it won’t allow people to access to a neighborhood if they don’t actually live there. Please note: the City of Daly City and/or the Police Department cannot see what residents post—we are only allowed to post information. There is also a mobile application, or you can have it sent to your e-mail. Give it a try! www.nextdoor.com
