Captain’s Message:

It has been a very busy week here at Richmond Station. I’ve had

a series of meetings with the SFPD Command Staff and the com-

munity that went very well. We also gave our Station a much

needed facelift by cleaning up the landscaping. Check out the

before and after pictures below!

I’d like to take this opportunity to remind everyone to attend the

community meeting next week on April 18th. I’m looking forward

to meeting with everyone and hearing how Richmond Station can

best serve this community.

Thanks for all the amazing art work that has been sent to the

station. Keep ‘em coming!

-Captain O’Brien

tion.

Officer Watson and Sergeant Hicks receive

some fantastic new artwork.



A suspect entered a Richmond Dis-

trict market and found the items he

was looking for. He nonchalantly

placed the items in his pants, and

attempted to leave the store without

paying for the item. Unluckily for

this suspect, the loss prevention em-

ployees were onto his scheme. They

had been watching him on the store’s

surveillance camera system. They

also called 911 to report the incident,

and officers were dispatched.

Upon the officer’s arrival at the

scene, he observed the loss preven-

tion employees physically restraining

the suspect on the ground. Through

a thorough investigation, the officer

learned that the suspect had at-

tempted to barge past the loss pre-

vention employees when they at-

tempted to stop him. This elevated

the severity of the offense from

shoplifting to a robbery.

The stolen merchandise was quickly

located inside the suspect’s sock.

The suspect was also found in pos-

session of narcotics paraphernalia.

This suspect was charged with rob-

bery, and was booked at County Jail.

Robbery Suspect Arrested at Richmond District Supermarket

Geary Boulevard & 27th Avenue

04/06/2017 1:00 pm

Richmond District Officers were

dispatched to a report of a vehicle

burglary. A witness heard the sound

of glass breaking and saw a suspect

riding away from the scene on a bi-

cycle. The witness provided a de-

scription of the suspect and his bicy-

cle to the dispatcher. Furthermore,

the witness attempted to follow the

suspect until police arrived.

Officers searched the area and were

able to locate and detain a suspect

matching the description. On the

suspect, the officers located property

which had been taken from inside

the burglarized vehicle. Officers

also located a porcelain chip tool,

which is an instrument commonly

used to break vehicle windows.

This suspect initially provided the

officers with a bogus identification;

however when his real identity was

established, officers discovered that

he had recently been released from

jail for a prior recent felony arrest.

This suspect was promptly returned

to County Jail with a brand new set

of felony charges.

Recently Released Suspect Arrested

After Breaking Into a Vehicle

Funston Avenue & Anza Street

04/07/2017 8:10 pm



A concerned Richmond District resi-

dent called to report a suspicious

vehicle in the neighborhood. She

reported that it had been in the area

for some time, moving from one

parking spot to another. She also

provided a description of the vehicle

and the driver for the officers.

When an officer arrived at the scene,

he quickly located the vehicle and

the suspect. The officer ran a re-

cords check on the vehicle’s license

plate and the suspect. It showed the

vehicle’s registration was expired,

but no information could be found

about the suspect. The suspect’s

behavior during the incident was

very erratic, causing the officer to

sense that the suspect was being de-

ceitful. He used his keen investiga-

tive skills to probe further.

The officer ran the vehicle’s VIN,

which showed that the vehicle was

stolen. The license plates attached to

the vehicle belonged to a different

vehicle of the same make. Realizing

that his jig was up, the suspect also

revealed his true identity to the offi-

cers. Another criminal history check

revealed that he had several warrants

for his arrest too.

A search of the stolen vehicle re-

vealed a large quantity of tools and

instruments which are commonly

used by burglary suspects in the

commission of their crimes. There

was also a large amount of property

which the officers on scene believed

may have been stolen.

This suspect was eventually booked

at County Jail for several felony of-

fenses.

Suspect on Probation Arrested for Possessing Burglary Tools

Jackson Street & Baker Street

04/10/2017 1:46 am

Officers from Richmond Station’s

midnight watch were on patrol in the

district, looking for criminal activity.

That’s when these officers observed

a suspect riding his bicycle without a

attached light during darkness, which

is a violation of the California Vehi-

cle Code. The Officers stopped the

suspect to investigate further.

A criminal record check of the sus-

pect revealed that he was on proba-

tion for burglary. As a result of his

probation status, the suspect was

subject to a warrantless search of his

person. During the search, the offi-

cers located a canister of pepper

spray. This suspect was prohibited

from possessing pepper spray. To

make matters worse for this suspect,

the officers also located a broken

porcelain chip from a spark plug on a

string. This is a ’tool’ commonly

used in auto burglaries. The officers

also located numerous additional

tools commonly used by burglary

suspects.

Thanks to the hard working and dili-

gent officers of Richmond Station,

this suspect was apprehended before

he could commit further offenses.

The suspect was booked at County

Jail.

RICHMOND STATION’S OFFICERS OF THE WEEK

Officer Brian Neill

OFFICER NEILL’S SAFETY TIP OF THE WEEK:

“When crossing the street, i t ’s really important

to look both ways for approaching vehic les.

Just because pedestr ians have the r ight of way

does not mean it ’s safe to cross the street.

Also, avoid looking down at your cel l phones

when crossing the street.”

Officer Neill currently

works day watch as a beat

officer at Richmond Sta-

tion. He can regularly be

seen riding down Geary

Blvd.

Officer Neill grew up in

nearby San Jose and at-

tended Bellarmine College

Preparatory School. He

also served in the United

States Navy prior to be-

coming a police officer.

He has been a police offi-

cer with the San Francisco

Police Department for 10

years. He originally

wanted to be a police offi-

cer because he enjoys

working outside and en-

gaging with the community.

His hobbies include swim-

ming in the Tomales Bay,

SCUBA diving, and riding

his bicycle.
