Police Beat is a roundup of crimes and other police incidents in Noe Valley. "Noe Valley" is defined as the area bordered by Grand View, 21st, Guerrero, and 30th streets. The neighborhood straddles two police districts, so the December 2005 crime log was culled from incident reports filed at Mission and Ingleside police stations.

SAFETY TIP

From Lt. Sharon McNally
Mission Station

Always be aware of your surroundings. Make sure you see someone who may be approaching you. If you get a bad feeling about someone, cross the street, go into an open establishment, or just move away from the subject. Make eye contact with them. Most criminals rely on the element of surprise. Once you make eye contact, the surprise is gone and they may wait and choose another victim.

How to Contact the SFPD
