Summer is Here!!!


Summer SAFEty Tips, from SF SAFE


The Summer months are here... school is out... vacations are planned...
and many of us are spending more time outdoors. Below are a few tips so
that you can have an enjoyable and safe summer!

* School is out! More kids and students will be outside. Be aware of
pedestrians and bicyclists while driving; keep bicycles securely locked
when not in use; always wear a helmet! Ensure that your own kids are
safe while you are at work - plan activities for them during the day.

* If you plan to travel or go on vacation , be sure to keep your home's
doors and windows securely locked, suspend newspaper and mail
deliveries, use alternating timed lights in your house, and have a
trusted neighbor keep an eye out for any suspicious activities.

* Personal Safety while enjoying the outdoors - always be aware of your
surroundings: if you run or walk, do it in well-lit, well-populated
areas; carry identification with you, as well as a whistle or other
noise-making device; try to run with a friend; and if you use an iPod or
other music device, keep only one earbud in your ear so that your
hearing is not completely obstructed.

* Do not leave anything visible in your car . Even a jacket or spare
change may be valuable to a thief.

* If you plan to spend time in crowded or touristy areas , avoid
becoming a victim of pickpocketing by being aware of your surroundings
and only keeping a small amount of cash and credit cards on you.

Have a SAFE and enjoyable Summer!

Please send in images related to the history of Bayview Hunters Point or some themes (shipyards, 1966 riot, African American migration , Ohlone history, Chinese presence, etc.) that might be depicted. Send them to lbrooksburton@sfpl.org by e-mail or bring them into the branch and Linda will make sure that they get into the architects hands. Be advised that we cannot guarantee the use of every image and or idea we receive but we would like to consider a range of suggestions. Please send in the images by April 15th, 2009. With your help and the guidance of the architects and the Branch Library Improvement Program (BLIP) we hope to create an exciting and interesting building that will showcase our community’s history.

Neighborhood Watch Success Story


What makes a SAFE Neighborhood Watch group successful? Well, to the
team here at SAFE, we think that just starting a Neighborhood Watch
group is a success! Sometimes people can be too busy or too reluctant to
take an active role in organizing their block and making it safer. But
even just a few persistent and focused residents can prove to ignite a
local effort in starting an organized network of neighbors. Overcoming
the hurdle of motivating others to become involved is a success. After
that, only more successes are sure to follow.


Neighbors around 19th and Capp streets are taking initiative to see less
crime and violence in their neighborhood... and to stay informed. They
contacted SAFE, and with the help of Jon Shepherd, they started a
Neighborhood Watch group. After only a few months of meeting to discuss
their concerns, they have learned how to take action to make the area
safer. Captain Stephen Tacchini of Mission Station attended their
meetings, and they now have a clearer, more effective, way to
communicate with the police. They also learned how to observe and report
suspicious activities, and were educated on personal safety best
practices. The group now has 60 members, with 9 committees working on
various issues. This Neighborhood Watch group is headed in the right
direction! You can also read about their story HERE .


Thanks to all of our active Neighborhood Watch groups in San Francisco
for your efforts in creating a safer city!
