“Arm yourself….with knowledge!”
Captain’s Comments
Interested in meeting our new Chief George Gascon? Interested in speaking to members of the SFPD Police Commission? On Wednesday September 2nd, 2009 at 6 PM you will have your chance to do both. The Police Commission will convene their meeting in the Central District at the Gordon J. Lau School at Washington and Stockton Streets. I will give an overview of the district including crime stats and some of our crime fighting strategies. My presentation will be brief to give anyone time for public comment. There is limited parking, so please take public transit if possible.
Giant board games on Russian Hill? Tomorrow, the squiggly part of Lombard will be converted into that game we all loved as kids; “Candy land” of course. The filming will begin at 4 AM and will last most of the sunlit portion of the day. Avoid the area and traffic delays.
Trauma- Filming for the television series will continue in the district with helicopters, cops, firemen and other actors with guns, hoses and pyrotechnics. Do not be alarmed and look for the cameras and other equipment before calling 911. The scene is the emergency response to a large fire in a restaurant. There will be filming at a Chinese restaurant on Washington Street. A street closure of Washington b/w Kearny St. & Grant Ave., Walter Lum Pl. b/w Washington St. & Clay St., Wentworth Pl. b/w Jackson St. & Washington St. will be in effect from 7 AM - 9 PM on Tuesday August 18th and Wednesday August 19th. Pedestrians will have access to all sidewalks and businesses within the closure. For safety reasons, pedestrians may delayed access to portions of the sidewalk for up to 5 minutes at a time.
Please note that not only will there be the usual emergency vehicles on location but there will also be smoke effects being utilized intermittently each day between the hours of 7a and 7p. The SFFD has approved the use of these effects and will be notifying the dispatch center and local fire houses of the use of smoke effects.
There will be signs clearly posted at the location to notify passersby that this is a television shoot and not a real incident. In addition, the production has notified all residents and businesses in the areas surrounding the filming.
There will be "No Stopping" signs posted to accommodate their equipment vehicles in the vicinity of the filming.
