Thanks to Captain James for putting that together.

Officers Dwight Lee and Charles August responded to two separate burglary calls where the suspect was seen both times.

Officer August heard the description of the man who attempted to get into a partially open window until the occupant scared the suspect away. Officer August spotted the suspect at Montgomery and Vallejo Streets. As the officers booked the suspect at Central Station, I learned from neighbors via e-mail that a similar suspect had attempted the very same method at another location.

Lidar in the District!
Traffic Motorcycle Officers Matthew Gardner and Jordan Hom have been helping out in various locations in the district to nab speeding cars. I’m sure you’ve seen officers pointing their Radar Guns at traffic along the Broadway Tunnel, the Embarcadero, Bay and other thoroughfares. These officers are using a different type, known as “Lidar,” for light detection and ranging. The burst of infrared light is sent to a vehicle, approaching or leaving, determines the time and distance and gives an accurate reading of the vehicle speed. The enforcement has been very effective in affecting driver’s behavior in these areas.
