Sausalito Police Department and ABC Agents Arrest 4 Suspects for Furnishing Alcohol to Minors
Sausalito Police Department, in conjunction with Agents from the California Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC), arrested 4 people on April 30th, 2013 for furnishing alcoholic beverages to minors. The operation was conducted at three establishments within Sausalito. ABC agents and Sausalito Police Department officers conducted a program called "Decoy Shoulder Tap Operation" which targets adults who purchase alcohol for people younger than 21 years of age. The program uses a minor, under the direct supervision of a peace officer, to stand outside a liquor or convenience store and ask patrons to buy them alcohol. If the adults agree to purchase alcohol for the minor, officers then arrest and cite them for furnishing alcohol to the minor. The program is intended to reduce the availability of alcohol to minors. Statistics show that minors generally have a higher rate of drunken driving crashes than adults. Studies also show the combination of alcohol and youth tends to increase criminal conduct. According to the American Medical Association, underage drinking can increase chances of risky sexual behavior and teen pregnancy, juvenile delinquency, compromise health, and result in unintentional injury and death. Funding for this program was provided by an ABC grant.
April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month
Law enforcement agencies across the state, including Sausalito PD, will step up efforts in April to educate/convince drivers of the dangers of distracted driving. The Sausalito Police Department wants to remind drivers to only use their cell phones while driving when using a hands-free device. The majority of traffic accidents caused by inattentive driving are due to cell phone usage. The California Highway Patrol has designated Tuesday, April 16, 2013 as a cell phone enforcement day. The Sausalito Police Department plans to join in that effort by taking a "zero tolerance" stance with drivers violating these safety laws.
The "It's not worth it" campaign emphasizes a phone call or text message is not worth a hefty fine or collision.
"In a few short years, distracted driving has grown to be a nationwide traffic safety concern, and we all need to put forth the effort necessary to put an end to it," said Christopher J. Murphy, director of the state Office of Traffic Safety (OTS). All law enforcement agencies will be stepping up their efforts to help remind drivers to stay alert when behind the wheel and to not endanger their lives or the lives of others with distractions from mobile devices while driving.
According to OTS, tips to avoid distracted driving include: • Turn off your phone and/or put it out of reach while driving • State in your outgoing voicemail that you cannot answer the phone while driving The Sausalito Police Department thanks you for driving safely!

Emergency Operations Center Exercise Sausalito City Staff Prepares for the Worst
Last Thursday afternoon, the City of Sausalito held its annual emergency operations drill at the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) located at SMFD Station 1. This year's drill addressed the concern of how the City would handle an emergency if senior staff could not immediately respond to the EOC. Whenever there are major storms or other disasters, there is always the chance that City employees living outside Sausalito will be blocked or severely delayed in responding here. To prepare employees for this possibility, the first four hours of the exercise involved patrol sergeants handling assignments generally under the control of a Patrol Captain or Chief of Police while the Public Works Director took over the role of the Director of Emergency Services, a role generally handled by the City Manager. This year's simulated disaster involved a mudslide that blocked South Street and damaged or destroyed several homes. During the exercise, City staff coordinated both local and outside resources to conduct rescue operations, provide temporary housing, and transport the injured to various local hospitals. This year's EOC drill, coordinated by Emergency Services Manager Sergeant Bill Fraass, involved multiple organizations. Two Marin County dispatchers gave personnel updates over the police and fire radios while other volunteers called in questions from the public and acted as outside local and Federal agencies and the media. Members of the Twin Cities Police Authority, Town of Tiburon, U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, and the U.S Coast Guard acted as evaluators in order to provide feedback to the participants on their performance. The City of Sausalito and the Southern Marin Fire Department are committed to preparing for natural and manmade disasters in order to provide the best possible service to our community. For additional information on Sausalito disaster preparedness please contact Sergeant Bill Fraass at 415-289-4170

Press Release Preventing Bicycle Theft
Nationally, 1.5 million bicycles are stolen each year and of those that are recovered, many will never be returned to their owners. The Sausalito Police Department wants to remind residents as well as visitors about some basic crime prevention techniques to prevent bicycle theft and increase the odds of your bicycle being returned to you in the event it is stolen. Once you purchase your bicycle, immediately record its make, model and serial number. Some people are under the belief that the bicycle shop will retain this information for you; most do not. The Sausalito Police Department strongly urges you to register your bicycle's information at the National Bike Registry (www.nationalbikeregistry.com). A link is also available in the Crime Prevention tab of the police department's website. Since 1984, the National Bike Registry has been working with law enforcement to return stolen bikes to their rightful owners. A bike registered with NBR (the only true national database) can be identified by police and returned to you instead of being sold at an auction.
The following tips will help reduce your risk of becoming a victim of bicycle theft:
• Purchase a case hardened "U" lock. Cable locks, especially cheaper ones, are easily cut off. In many cases, thieves can cut off cable locks with small hand tools, often in front of witnesses. • Make sure the lock goes through your bike's frame and any wheels with quick-release mechanisms. • Secure your bike to a sturdy, fixed object. If you are attaching your bike to a sign pole, make sure the pole is securely embedded in concrete. • When parked in public, remove all accessories from your bike that can be quickly and easily stolen i.e., lighting devices and speedometers. • Do not leave your bike unsecured in front of your house, carport or garage. • Avoid leaving unsecured/unattended bikes on your vehicle's rack when running quick errands or purchasing coffee. • Avoid leaving your bike locked to a rack overnight. • Park your bike in a well-lit area where it can be seen by a passerby. The Sausalito Police Department asks that you follow these simple steps to become an active participant in reducing the impact of bicycle theft in Sausalito. We also ask that you take the time to review the information under the Crime Prevention tab of the department's website for other useful tips and links.

As part of our crime prevention program, nighttime officers routinely walk residential foot beats looking for unlocked vehicles.

Sausalito Police Department Announces New Neighborhood Policing Program
There is a new sight in the evening and early morning hours in Sausalito; a blue Ford Escape driven by two members of the Volunteers in Public Safety (VIPS). In response to an increase in residential burglaries, the Sausalito Police Department, in partnership with the VIPS, has implemented an innovative program to augment existing efforts to address this increase. After attending a training program, the VIPS are providing a visible presence in residential areas and reporting any observed suspicious people or circumstances. Since the inception of the program in April, the VIPS have found open doors and windows and have reported several suspicious people to the police. Chief Jennifer Tejada cites this cooperative venture as a prime example of the department's Community Oriented Policing philosophy. This program will enhance the department's ability to proactively patrol our residential neighborhoods while at the same time keeping overall operating costs down. Established in 2003, the VIPS are a group of 25 volunteers who assist both the police and fire departments with a variety of tasks. During the last nine years, the VIPS have assisted the departments in a variety of ways including traffic and crowd control during parades, special events, and emergency situations, weekly vacation house checks, transporting police department documents to the Marin County Superior Court, and assisting in searches for missing persons. Anyone interested in becoming a member of the VIPS may email Sergeant Stacie Gregory at firstname.lastname@example.com .

The Sausalito Police Department is proud to announce that it received third place award in the California Law Enforcement Challenge (CLEC). California Highway Patrol Captain Amy Mangan presented the Department with a plaque at the Sausalito City Council meeting on May 15th. The California Law Enforcement Challenge is a competition between similar sizes and types of law enforcement agencies. It recognizes and rewards the best overall traffic safety programs in California. The areas of focus include efforts to enforce laws and educate the public about occupant protection, impaired driving, and speeding. The winning safety programs are those that combine officer training, public information and enforcement to reduce crashes and injuries within its jurisdiction. Chief Jennifer Tejada thanked Captain Mangan for her leadership of CHP in Marin County especially in the partnership between the two agencies. Chief Tejada credited her staff's tireless efforts in addressing traffic concerns as the reason the department received the award. She also noted all of the outreach and enforcement was made possible by a $65,000 grant the department received from the Office of Traffic Safety. Chief Tejada said, although the department did not receive the same grant this year, and current funding does not permit the same level of staff time, staff will continue in the effort to make Sausalito streets a safe place for motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians alike by seeking innovative ways to achieve similar results without added costs.

Woodward Burglar Update
Sausalito Police Department Safety Advisory: Recent Nighttime Burglaries. On Friday April 13, 2012 at about 6:48 a.m., a Woodward Avenue resident observed a white male adult on her deck. The resident described the person as an unkempt white male adult, 20 years old, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, cut off pants and combat boots. After a brief conversation with the resident, the person quickly left the area. Officers did an extensive search of the Woodward Avenue neighborhood but were unable to locate him. Since this original call, the suspect(s) in this case has been linked to four residential burglaries and one case of prowling in the area of Woodward Avenue and Laurel Lane. What makes these cases unusual is the fact that in four of the five cases, the residents were at home during the commission of the crimes. The time frame for the crimes was sometime between midnight and 6:50 a.m. Police believe that the suspect(s) walked along the wooded hillside above Woodward Avenue looking for open doors and crimes of opportunity. The suspect was able to make entry into two residences and a garage through unlocked doors. In the fourth case, the suspect forced entry into an unoccupied residence. The loss in these four cases is estimated at $65,000. Even though burglaries of occupied residences are rare in Sausalito, the police are asking residents to keep doors and accessible windows locked. Burglaries of occupied homes pose a significant threat to the safety of the residents should a confrontation occur. Residents who believe that someone is in their home should lock themselves in a room and immediately call the police. Residents with children should gather up their family members and stay in the same location until police arrive. The police department encourages residents to immediately report suspicious activity. Call 9-1-1 from your house phone or from your cellular telephone. Residents who are not sure that an incident is serious enough to warrant using 9-1-1 can call the business line at 415-289-4170.

Press Release Two Bicycles Stolen From Back Of Vehicle For immediate release: 01-25-2012 /1000 hours PR1 SP12-111 Police are seeking witnesses to the theft of two bicycles valued at $3,500 in the Bar Bocce parking lot (1250 Bridgeway). The theft occurred sometime on Tuesday, January 24, 2012, between the hours of 6 pm and 7:45 pm. The bicycles were attached to an automotive bicycle rack mounted to a silver Mercedes Benz SUV. The stolen bicycles were described as: White and gray colored 14 speed Bianchi road bike Black and blue colored 14 speed Giant road bike Anyone who witnessed this crime is asked to call Detective Brian Mather at 415-289-4118. Crime Prevention Tip Unattended bicycles present an easy target for thieves. Unsecured bicycles are often stolen from open garages, carports, and bike racks. To help lessen your chances of having your bicycle stolen, we recommend using a high quality locking system to secure your bicycle to a fixed object. It takes a matter of seconds for a thief to cut an inexpensive lock and cable and ride off on your bicycle. Please protect your investment. The few extra dollars you spend for a quality lock can save you thousands.
Press Release Theft From Vehicle Suspect Arrested For immediate release: 01-24-2012 /1135 hours PR1 SP12-095 On Sunday, 1-22-12, at about 8:41am, a passerby reported seeing a homeless encampment near the water tower located in the 400 block of Sausalito Boulevard. Upon arrival, Officer Francisco Padilla contacted Sheldon Thompson, a 30 year old male out of San Francisco. Upon a records check, officers discovered that Thompson was wanted out of San Mateo County for a 'No Bail' felony Possession of Stolen Property arrest warrant. A search of Thompson's backpack located several GPS units and a portable DVD/CD player. By checking addresses stored in the GPS units, officers were able to determine that the recovered property, including the backpack he was wearing, had been stolen out of several unlocked Sausalito vehicles. Victims were later located on Edwards Avenue, South Street and on Sausalito Boulevard. Thompson was booked into the Marin County Jail on the felony warrant and for possession of stolen property. Police recovered four GPS units. The owners of two of these units have been contacted. Police are waiting to hear back from the remaining two victims. To date, no one has reported a DVD player as being stolen. Anyone missing a DVD player during the time period is asked to contact Detective Brian Mather at 415-289-4118 The Sausalito Police Department asks residents to remember to lock their vehicles when they are not in use. Items of value need to be stored out of sight or (preferably) inside the residence. To increase public awareness about thefts from unlocked vehicles, Sausalito Police Department patrol teams make random nighttime foot patrols throughout residential areas to check for unlocked vehicles. When officers find an unlocked car, they will leave a courtesy note inside the vehicle and, if possible, try to secure the vehicle's door. Officers have located items of value (such as cameras and laptops) inside unlocked vehicles while making these checks. The Sausalito Police Department wants to work in partnership with the community to reduce crimes of opportunity and to reduce your chances of becoming a victim of theft.

Police Investigate Liquor Store Robbery Sausalito Police are asking for the public's help in identifying the suspect in an armed robbery. On Sunday, January 15th, at 11:09 pm, SPD received a report of a panic alarm at Pal's Liquor, 3001 Bridgeway Road. Officers arrived within one minute and discovered that an armed robbery had just occurred and that the lone suspect fled on foot. The store clerk described the suspect as male, 5'6", with a skinny build. He came into the store wearing a silver and black full face motorcycle helmet with the visor down. The suspect pulled out a handgun and the clerk opened the cash drawer. The suspect grabbed an undisclosed amount of money and ran out. Officers immediately established a perimeter around the area and requested mutual aid assistance to search for the gunman. Fourteen officers from the Marin County Sheriff's Office, Mill Valley, and Twin Cities police departments as well as a Novato Police K9 team combed the area for the two hours but did not locate the suspect. This is the third crime of concern in the Sausalito and Marin City area during the past 10 days. On January 6, Sheriff's deputies arrested a 15 year old for a day time residential burglary on Buckelew Street. The suspect was armed with a handgun. The next day, another 15 year old was arrested by Sheriff's deputies for the strong arm robbery of a woman at the bus stop on Donahue Street. The Sausalito Police Department reminds every one - residents and business owners alike - to be mindful of your surroundings, keep home doors and windows secured, and don't hesitate to report suspicious persons or vehicles to police. Anyone with information about the liquor store robbery is asked to call SPD Detective Brian Mather at 289-4170.

City Officials Work with Residents to Increase Driver Awareness
The Sausalito Police Department, in partnership with the Department of Public Works, is pleased to announce the implementation of the Street Smarts Marin program. Street Smarts Marin is a program funded by the Transportation Authority of Marin designed to increase driver awareness of potentially dangerous driving habits. Street Smarts Marin provides city governments with free informational banners and lawn signs that will be displayed for about 8 weeks, twice a year. During the first phase of the program in August, the Sausalito Police Department distributed driver safety banners to the local schools and informational signs to residents for outdoor display. During the second phase of the program in September, banners will be installed on the Bridgeway light poles with varying messages that target unsafe driving habits by both motorists and bicyclists. These banners will be installed after the Art Festival signage is removed. Several informational lawn signs have already been placed on both Spencer Avenue and Sausalito Boulevard. The posting of these signs is in response to resident concerns about speeding vehicles in these areas. Residents who are interested in this program are encouraged to view the signage on these streets and, if interested in being a part of the program, are encouraged to contact Corporal Matt Shoup at email@example.com. Unfortunately, there are a limited amount of signs available with a limit of 3 to 4 signs per street. Each request will need to be evaluated by staff. City Staff and Street Smarts Marin would like to thank the Sausalito City Council for their support of this program. This is yet another example of how the City working in partnership with its residents, can make Sausalito a safe and enjoyable place to live.

Press Release City of Sausalito Welcomes Students Back to School
On Wednesday morning, members of the Sausalito Police Department and the Public Works Department were on hand to welcome students back to school at the Bayside Elementary School and the Willow Creek Academy. Crews from both departments directed traffic as parents dropped off their children for the first day of school. Members of the Sausalito Marin City School District Board, the Willow Creek Academy Board of Directors, and workers from each school joined the city employees in the effort to make sure every student arrived safely. Of particular concern was providing a safe place for the parents of kindergarten and first grade students to park their cars and walk their children to their new classrooms. The police officers, parking enforcement officers and Public Works Department employees returned to campus on Thursday morning and again on Friday morning to finish the new school week hoping to establish safe driving habits by parents.

Bike and Pedestrian Safety is Focus of New Sausalito Police Department Program Starting this month, greater traffic enforcement and safer streets are coming to Sausalito thanks to a recent $65,000 traffic safety grant awarded by the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS). The OTS grant allows officers to continue their commitment to keeping Sausalito roadways safe. The OTS Bike & Pedestrian Education and Safety Program grant is designed to assist police department officers in bicycle and pedestrian safety through education and increased traffic enforcement efforts. The primary goal of the grant is to reduce traffic safety problems surrounding bicyclists, pedestrians, and motorists on Sausalito streets. The grant will provide funding for replacing traffic radars, educational presentations, community outreach, and special directed enforcement activities by department officers. During the course of the next twelve months, officers will be assigned to patrol those areas where there have been the greatest traffic issues with cyclists, pedestrians, and motorists coming together, such as the Sausalito Downtown area. The special enforcement activity will help to improve traffic flow and reduce traffic collision injuries. Sausalito officers will also be making school presentations in conjunction with giving away free bicycle helmets to children. "This grant will make Sausalito just that much safer of a place to live and work," said Christopher J. Murphy, Director of the California office of Traffic Safety. Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Stolen Vehicles, Update
For immediate release: 10-15-2010. 1100 hours PR1 SP10-1267 Kurtis Skoog, Lieutenant Press Release Officer 415-289-4169 On Friday, 10-15-2010, a resident from Spencer Court reported that his BMW was stolen out of his driveway. This is the third stolen vehicle in our community in the past four days. In all three cases, we believe that the suspect(s) were able to steal the vehicles simply by entering an unlocked car and finding a set of spare car keys inside. Following the first two thefts, Officers made several directed patrols in residential areas during the night and this morning. As a result, an officer located an occupied stolen vehicle and subsequently arrested two people. Investigators were unable to establish a link between the suspects in the recovered stolen vehicle and the string of vehicle thefts we have been experiencing. To reduce your chances of being a victim, the Sausalito Police Department is asking all residents to make sure their vehicles are locked when not in use, and that spare car keys be removed from your vehicle(s). The Sausalito Police Department has made the apprehension of the car thieves a priority. Additional personnel are scheduled for extra patrol. Residents need to be aware of their neighborhood and help the Sausalito Police Department solve these crimes by reporting any suspicious activity.

The Quran, Islam's holy book, discusses Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon, Jesus, and other biblical figures; in doing so, the Islamic scripture itself makes it abundantly clear that the God of Muhammad, and the God of Jesus, and the God of Israel are all the selfsame God. Since the Muslim God is also the Judeo-Christian God, Allah is in fact identical with — and not different from — the Hebrew God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
