Monthly Community Meeting

Tonight is my monthly community meeting. The meeting is from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00
p.m. and will be held at the Tuscan Inn, 425 Northpoint. I will provide an
overview of the criminal activity in the district and address questions or concerns.
This evening, we will have guest speakers from the Fishermans Wharf
Ambassadors, Recology Zero Waste Management and SF Safe Bikes. We will get
through the meeting in an hour! I hope to see you there.
Coffee with a Cop
The Department is now hosting Coffee with a Cop meetings. As I may have
mentioned in previous newsletters, Captain Cherniss, formerly of Tenderloin Station,
was the first to have such a gathering about a year ago. We will have our meeting
on Tuesday, June 21, 2016 from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. at Caffe Greco, 432
Columbus Avenue. Officers will be there to have coffee with the community and
have a conversation about neighborhood issues. This is a great way to get to know
the officers who patrol our neighborhoods.
Traffic Enforcement
Thanks to Officers David Nastari and Mike Ellis from the Traffic Company, the
other day on Broadway from Powell to Columbus, officers wrote 6 citations for
texting while driving, 10 citations for talking on a cell phone, 2 citations for making
a u turn in a business district and 1 citation for failing to yield to a pedestrian in the
crosswalk. I am grateful for their assistance as we work to make traffic safety a
priority!

Mothers Against Drunk Driving California Hero Award

Congratulations to Officer Joshua McFall who was one of two San Francisco Police Officers to receive this
prestigious award for his work in apprehending drunk drivers. Officer McFall is one of our in-house expert on
DUI and works to make the Central District safe by taking drunk drivers off the street. As many of you know, I
was hit by a drunk driver last October and I believe our work in this area saves lives!
In the coming weeks, I will mention the youth engagement activities we have planned for the Ping Yuen
Housing Development and North Beach Place.
Have a great Fathers Day Weekend!

Each month Central Police Station features one

of its officers in an effort to learn more about the
men and women who police our neighborhood.
This month, we interviewed Officer Jared Lovrin,
a 2-year member of Central Police Station.
Officer Jared Lovrin was born in San Francisco and raised in the Bay Area. He attended
college in Utah at Brigham Young University, where he obtained a degree in Mechanical
Engineer.
Officer Lovrin joined the San Francisco Police Academy in 2005, following in his Uncles
footsteps. After graduating from the Police Academy, he was assigned to Ingleside Station
for field training. After completing field training, he was assigned to Central Station for his
probation station. Officer Lovrin was then assigned to Mission Station for his permanent
station. Officer Lovrin worked at Mission Station for seven years where he worked Plainclothes and Vice. In 2014, Officer Lovrins Uncle Tom Lovrin retired from the Department.
Tom passed on his star # to Officer Lovrin. Officer Lovrin now proudly wears star #2235,
carrying on his Uncles legacy.
In January of 2015, Officer Lovrin took his transfer and returned to Central Station, the
station that he loves most. Officer Lovrin was excited to return to Central Station; he fell in
love with the district when he worked here on probation. Officer Lovrin waited seven years
to return to Central Station.
Officer Lovrin works in a sector car. Officer Lovrin can be seen patrolling the North Beach,
Telegraph Hill, Pier 39 and Embarcadero area.
