Police Commission Meeting

By Capt. Robert Yick

Community members: I want to invite everyone to two events next month.

The first event is the national “coffee with a cop.” This event will be at Starbucks, 1800 Irving St., on Oct. 3. (“Coffee with a cop” is an ongoing feature at the Taraval Station.)

Just a little history on this event. Coffee with a cop was launched in 2011 by the Hawthorne Police Department when they were looking for innovative ways to interact with the citizens they served each day.

Community members can interact with local police officers over a cup of coffee and have a conversation without an agenda.

The second event will be our SF Police Commission meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 17, from 6-8 p.m., at St. Ignatius College Preparatory, located at 2001 37th Ave. I will be presenting a PowerPoint presentation on the Taraval District, including crime statistics, community partnerships and community engagement.

Our next community meeting will be on Tuesday, Oct. 16, at 6 p.m., at the Taraval Police Station, located at 2345 24th Ave. Parking is limited so please try to carpool or get a ride. We would love to have you attend and express any concerns that you may have.

As always, if you have any questions please call the Taraval Station at (415) 759-3100. We are here to help and assist you any way we can.

Capt. Robert Yick is the commanding officer at the Taraval Police Station.
