1) No SFPD Plan Specific for Community Violence in Fillmore 

While Northern Station has engaged, partnered with and supported many community organizations, activities and leaders to help empower the community to address the violence, there is no particular plan for community violence in effect by the SFPD, the Mayor’s Office or civilian groups.   

Safety Plans Come from Downtown

We do have plans for Natural Disaster, Riot, Protests and Presidential visits. 

Response is Police Station, SFPD, City and then National Guard. 

There are two civilian programs to assist during a natural disaster where there will not be enough police:

ALERT - Train people how to do traffic control, set up make-shift shelters, moving people from one area to another.

NERT – Disaster preparedness. 

Tues and Thursday is vice night.  

Each station identifies hot spots. 

Violence moves from different areas of City.  A lot of murders Ingleside but haven’t heard nothing in the Bayview. 

Who is the big dog.  Then they go after the group. 

If the get the big fist, they go back after the little fish.

The chief can reallocate resources.  Stations send officers to another station. 

Every City Workers have a disaster card with a priority status

Police Response - 2 LT, 1 Sg. and 12 Officers

2) Critical Incident

All on duty officer must be here in 15 minutes. 

Regular cops to set up a perimeter.  Isolate.  Then we wait for our tactical team. 

Active Shooter.  Diamond up and Diamond go in

3) Individual Police Stations

Own gas pumps and generator. 

During natural disasters people are going to come. 

Patrols

3 shifts (A) 6am-6pm; (B) 6pm-6am and (C) swing shift

Extra ammunition/ armory

4) Challenges:

Many people don’t feel safe to do anything in the neighborhood

Young people and seniors can’t walk around the neighborhood. 

No jobs. 

Half is going to be incarcerated because they are hard headed. 

Parents need to quite being in denial. Also, School is not priority for young people.

Shootings across from Police Station is a telling statement.

The police don’t see the outrage from community regarding the violence.

Closing out rest of population to Ella Hill Hutch. 

Uninformed people will panic during a natural disaster. 

A lot of these young brothers got to grow up to understand the funk. 

Hot spots to hot. 

5) Possible Next Steps:

We need young people to come to meeting. 

We need women to work with young ladies.  

Identify resources out there.

Create incentives for young people to go to school. 

Assist individuals in the trade union get placed.

Create Jobs, Job Readiness and Job Placement.

Incentive for Education

Disconnect between Segment of Community and Police

Attitude / Emotions of Young People

Self-Worth / Meaning in Life for Young People

Recreation Activities Needed

Work Ethic of Officers and Parental Support

Disaster preparedness – On Your Own for first 72 Hours

More accountable from community, CBO’s and officers, not putting out full effort. 

CBO’s, Police, Parole Officers and community need to connect.

Providers need to come together to leverage resources. 

Young female is still the backbone of the community.
