Full Notification

When I mention “the unit block” of a street, this means the incident occurred at an address anywhere between 1 and 99 of the street.


Notable Cases


On Monday, 09-10-18 at 3:01 a.m., Officer Sunga conducted a pedestrian stop on two subjects pushing carts on the 100 block of Lake Merced Boulevard. One of the subjects, a 44-year old San Francisco resident, was in possession of brass knuckles and unlawful drug paraphernalia and was cited for those offenses.

On Tuesday, 09-11-18 at 11:07 a.m., officers were dispatched to a residence on the unit block of Jacqueline Court regarding an open garage door. The landlord reported she hadn’t heard from her tenants and went to check on the house. Officers discovered the tenants were involved in the production of marijuana. This case was referred to the San Mateo County Narcotics Task Force for investigation.

On Tuesday, 09-11-18 at 3:56 p.m., officers were dispatched to the 200 block of Accacia Street on a report of a subject carrying a hammer and hitting vehicles in the area. Officers located a subject, a 47-year old Daly City resident, who matched the description, and they subsequently arrested him for public intoxication.

On Wednesday, 09-12-18 at 10:18 a.m., officers were dispatched to the area of the Pointe Pacific condominiums on a report of a fire. The Daly City Fire Department responded and extinguished the fire. A witness identified a suspect, and officers arrested the suspect, a 24-year old transient for causing a fire to a structure or forest, placing a flaming or glowing substance that may cause a fire, throwing a lighted cigarette on any private or public property, and for allowing a fire to escape to another property, liable for damages.

On Wednesday, 09-12-18 at 11:20 p.m., Officer Bermudez was on patrol on Geneva Avenue near Allan Street when he saw an adult male without a shirt walking in the street. When Officer Bermudez asked the subject to stop, the subject did not comply. Officer Yip and Officer Sunga arrived to assist, and the subject yelled at the officers and took an aggressive stance towards Officer Bermudez. The subject, a 39-year old San Francisco resident, was under the influence of a narcotic, and he was cited for being under the influence of a controlled substance and for resisting a peace officer.

On Thursday, 09-13-18 at 8:45 p.m., Officer Jackson-Berrios was dispatched to the Kaiser Medical building on Hickey Boulevard on a report of a female in a blue Hyundai Tucson who was impaired. The reporting party said the female was initially driving on highway 280 with no lights on, and the vehicle was swerving in and out of lanes. The reporting party then followed her into the parking lot on Hickey Boulevard and removed the keys from her vehicle. Officer Jackson-Berrios conducted field sobriety tests on the driver and determined she was under the influence. The driver, a 41-year old Brisbane resident, was arrested for driving under the influence. Thanks to the willingness of this reporting party to get involved, I am sure he prevented the loss of lives due to this driver’s level of intoxication.

On Thursday, 09-13-18 at 9:15 p.m., Officer Dhaliwal was dispatched to the Snap Fitness facility on Mission Street on a report of a man rubbing his genitals while looking at a victim through the window of the gym.

The reporting party said she moved to another area in the gym, and she saw the subject then unzip his pants, put his fingers down his genital region and begin rubbing himself. Officers found a subject matching the description and ultimately cited the subject, a 51-year old San Francisco resident, for soliciting a lewd act.

On Friday, 09-14-18 at 11:28 a.m., Officer Maddison and Officer Covarrubias were dispatched to the Ross Store at Westlake Shopping Center on a report of a subject acting erratically inside the store. Officers found a subject matching the description and noted he exhibited symptoms of being under the influence of alcohol or narcotics. The officers asked the subject if he had narcotics, paraphernalia, contraband or weapons on his person, and the subject stated he did not. After gaining consent to search the subject, Officer Maddison found a black rock (suspected heroin) wrapped in plastic inside the subject’s pants pocket, as well as a hypodermic needle and two pills wrapped in foil. Officer Maddison cited the 25-year old subject from El Sobrante for possession of a controlled substance and for possession of narcotics paraphernalia.

The suspect entered the residence via the bathroom window. The dispatcher gave a description of the burglar who was trying to climb out of a window. The owner of the residence said he heard a noise in their house, and he said the suspect was in the bathroom. The owner and his son held the bathroom door closed, and that is when the suspect fled through the bathroom window. As Officer Shoopman arrived on scene, he saw a subject matching the description walking down the street. The owner of the burglarized residence and his neighbor were following the suspect and yelled out “that’s the guy” to the officer. Office Shoopman arrested the 38-year old transient subject for burglary, attempted robbery and trespassing.

Scams/Other

“Jewelry for Sale”

On Wednesday, 09-12-18 at 4:20 p.m., Officer Farrar was dispatched to the Citibank on Hickey Boulevard on a report of a past theft. The reporting party, a 75-year old Daly City resident, said she was at the ATM withdrawing money on Monday 09-10-18 at 2:30 p.m. The reporting party said prior to walking up to the ATM, she was greeted by a Middle Eastern female who waved hello to her. The reporting party waved back and continued onto the ATM. The reporting party said she withdrew some money and then started to walk back to her car when she was approached by a man in a vehicle who said his wife was trying to talk to her. The reporting party looked at the female and realized she was the same one who had greeted her earlier. The woman motioned the reporting party over to a bench where she was sitting and told her she was “desperately” trying to get to Florida and needed money for the trip. The reporting party said the subject became “very insistent”, and “begged” her for money. The reporting party said the woman showed her several pieces of what she thought was gold jewelry around her neck. She told her she would sell her the jewelry in exchange for the money to go to Florida. The reporting party “reluctantly agreed” to sell the jewelry and went back to the ATM and withdrew more money. The reporting party said she gave the woman $850 for seven pieces of jewelry. The reporting party said the woman then got into a black SUV and left the parking lot. The reporting party said she went to a jeweler to have the jewelry appraised, and she was told the jewelry was not real. The reporting party described the woman as being Middle Eastern, approximately 45-50 years old, 5’5”, 140 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes and wore a white head scarf and long white dress. She described the male as being Middle Eastern, approximately 60-years old, heavy set, black hair and brown eyes.

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.
