CAPTAIN’S MESSAGE
Richmond District – A large amount of collisions (accidents) in the Richmond District are the result of unsafe driving and are preventable. Officers at Richmond Station are conducting traffic operations (stop signs, speeding, pedestrian in the crosswalk) to increase education and overall vehicle and pedestrian safety. We are working to make the district safer for all who live here, including drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists.

San Francisco has experienced an increase of rain in the past few weeks. Just a friendly reminder to slow down and be aware of the other cars on the road. Tip of the Week– If your windshield wipers are on make sure that your headlights are on as well.
