Wed Sept 19, 2018 Captain Jack Hart’s Message

Captain Jack Hart

Commanding Officer

President Obama’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing released its final report in May of 2015. This guiding document—for sworn and non-sworn members in all ranks and assignments throughout the 18,000 law enforcement agencies in the United States—was the first comprehensive study of the policing profession since 1967. The over 100-page report with hundreds of actionable recommendations all fit under six “pillars” aimed at fulfilling, restoring, and maintaining the public’s trust: “Trust between law enforcement agencies and the people they protect and serve is essential in a democracy.” Think back to a time when a friend, a teammate, a coworker, or a member of government asked you: “Do you trust me?” Did it take long to answer that question? Probably not. Now, think about how difficult it was to answer when a loved one, your significant other, or a spouse asked you: “Why do you love me?” Did you find trouble putting to words something you deeply knew to be inherently true? Both trust and love are conditions of the heart; not conditions of the head. This is why it is difficult to put into words (that exist in the brain) a condition of the heart (part of the limbic system where there is no capacity for language); it is also why it is impossible to talk yourself into loving or trusting another person—it must be proven and forged over time. Stephen M.R. Covey in his book The Speed of Trust helps us to put into words how trust is built and where it is destroyed: “In order to be trusted, I must be trustworthy; in order to be trustworthy, I must have character and competence.” Character is demonstrating the courage to live in congruence with the highest moral principles and beliefs that our community, constitution, and profession demands. Competence is the results-oriented delivery of capabilities performed at a masterful level. On September 8th, the semi-annual shift and assignment “sign-up” at Ingleside station will go into effect. This is a time for all members to reflect upon their previous six months, to bid for assignments based upon seniority, interest, talent, and proven results, to request working with a partner whose knowledge, skills, and abilities are complimentary, and to move forward with clear expectations and attainable goals. I expect that Ingleside officers will continue to place their attention and intention into the embodiment of the profession’s highest ideals and will be measured by the consistent demonstration of competence and character within and for our community in every single interaction, every single day. I am honored to be the captain of this station where I have found so many officers so willing and so able to live up to these ideals, but there is much, much more work to be done. We will all—myself included—strive to be even better and more accountable to each other and to our community at keeping, amplifying, restoring, and embodying trust.

Ingleside Police Station

This month’s Featured Officers of the Month for September are Ofc. Jennifer Foxworth and Ofc. Daniel Espinoza, both of whom are the embodiment of both the competence and character I referred to in the “Captain’s Message.”

Competence: Last month, SFPD crime mapping software compiled all of the in-person, online, and 311-generated auto burglary incident reports in the Ingleside and generated a “heat map.” This indicated that there was an auto burglary “hot spot” in the area of Bernal Heights and Anderson with break-ins occurring between the hours of 2PM and 5PM. At 4:10PM on a “passing call,” these officers spotted a suspicious vehicle. Running the plate, they determined that the registered owner was on probation for felony grand theft with a search condition. They detained the probationer and occupants, conducted a search, and located an illegal stun gun device, a window punch commonly used to break into vehicles, and a theft-prevention clothing tag remover. The probationer was booked on felony charges and the probation violation.

Character: An Ingleside resident wrote me an email:

“About a month ago, my husband and I were at the Noe Valley Rec Center playground with our twin 4-year-old boys. We were leaving the playground just as an SFPD patrol car was parking. My boys were checking out the cruiser and the two officers let my boys check out their car. Other kids from the playground started congregating and looking at the dash keyboard, microphone, lights, etc. These officers were both so wonderful with the kids, and the parents around were all impressed with the officers letting their kids get close to the car and see how the lights work… So, huge props to these two officers, and all of you, for such positive interactions with the communities you serve and protect.”

Our City’s Motto is: “Oro en Paz; Fierro en Guerra” (Gold in Peace; Iron in War). This profession demands us to be many things to many people, but at our core we must be shining examples of integrity and strength; truly competent and truly people of character.

One definition of community is a feeling of fellowship with others as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests and goals. Another definition is the people of a district or country considered collectively, especially in the context of social values and responsibilities; society. This month’s Community Member of the Month is Tom Murphy.

Tom Murphy was born and raised in the Excelsior District in the heart of the Ingleside Police District. Tom spent the first eleven years of his life residing at Edinburgh at Russia Street. Tom’s family moved to France at Athens Street where he lived until he was 18 years old. In 2002 Tom generated income for the Children’s playground renovation located at Moscow and Geneva Ave. by selling Jerry Garcia t-shirts. This playground still stands as a testament of his works. Tom Murphy would mention that he was born and raised in the Excelsior District which people would often reply “that’s where Dan White grew up.” Those of us who know the Dan White pages of San Francisco history would agree that no one would like to associate their community with that page of history. Tom learned the little known fact that Jerry Garcia grew up in the Excelsior District. Tom would prefer that his neighborhood was associated with someone who had more positive historical value. After the Park renovation, Tom spearheaded the group who would rename the McLaren Park Amphitheater to the current name the “Jerry Garcia Amphitheater.” Tom did not stop there he has organized 16 Jerry Day Musical festivals where Jerry’s peaceful music has been played. The bands that perform are headline bands who often play in large coliseums. The Jerry Garcia Band, Melvin Seals, Midnight North and Stu Allen are a few bands that have performed at the Amphitheater. Tom has generated support to place plaques that honor Jerry at Mission Street at Harrington Street and at Mission Street at Amazon Street. These plaques honor a true Excelsior/Ingleside musical legend who sent the message of love and peace. The Jerry Day shows bring in thousands of people who enjoy the music and the fellowship of our Excelsior neighborhood. McLaren Park, the surrounding merchants and the Ingleside community all benefit from Tom’s effort.

For this unending relentless work we recognize Tom Murphy as Community Member of the Month.

Officers Wynkoop and Ocreto responded and spoke to the victim who said he was walking along Silver Avenue when he no-ticed two male subjects following him. The victim said he continued walking when he was suddenly put in a headlock by one of the subjects. The second subject stepped in front of the victim with his hand underneath his hooded sweatshirt and said, “Hand me all your stuff, I have a strap, I have a gun”. The victim said he saw a bulge leading him to believe the suspect was armed with a firearm. The suspects proceeded to search through the victim’s pockets taking his wallet, IPhone, air pod charging case and ear buds. The suspects then fled the area while the victim ran to the intersection of Mission and Silver and used a stranger’s phone to call the police.

In this incident two victims were walking down Brazil Avenue when they walked towards a suspect standing in front of a house. The victims told Officers Mora and Guernsey that the suspect asked the victims what time it was. One of the victims pulled out his cell phone to check the time. At this moment the suspect said, “I have a gun, give me your phones”. The victims saw that the suspect had his hand inside of his sweatshirt pocket and simulated holding a gun. A second suspect walked up to the victims and threatened to punch them if they did not hand over their property. Fearing for their safety both victims handed over their cell phones, sunglasses, wallets, debit cards, shoulder bag and money. Both suspects then ran to a waiting vehicle which fled the area.
