January 26th 2013 Bobcat begins pre-brief.

Raven pays close attention, tonight is a new patrol area.

We started with Minna Alley a known crack smoking area .

We have officially hit SOMA (South of Market Area)

On one single file formation, doing it by the book.

Lobo and Mustang doing tail, we just crossed 5th and Folsom.

Bobcat confers with a security agent who is informing us there is a lot of auto burglary's occurring here in SOMA.

Yerba Buena Park water fountain.

Down on 7th and Harrison we ran into a couple who was excited to see us here.

Discarded syringes in the Civic Center Plaza Public toilet.

This is a common occurrence at the public restrooms.

We caught 3 people in the bathroom  after we ran them out we found these 2 fully loaded needles full of ... yes it was confirmed somewhere between $50-$60 worth of liquefied Black Tar Heroin.

The patrol moves on to the Tenderloin.

A possible new member speaks with Frisco.

Eddy and Leavenworth. 

Liberty and Raven.

Were going into Scorpions Lair.

Needles are almost always found in this area of bushes.

And oddly enough crack and meth pipes on the opposite side . I say oddly because its almost always everything in the same place.

The proper procedure for picking up a syringe: NEVER BY THE TOP OR ORANGE SPOT ALWAYS THE BOTTOM OR OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE NEEDLE.

A needle discarded in the road.

People driving by thanking us for our service.

This guy was caught smoking crack right in front of us and was actually argumentative till the locals started in on him about moving.

Circled back around and had to post up on the Den of Iniquity AKA Turk and Taylor.

We witnessed this store selling crack pipes. No matter how hard you try there's always something in the way of making things better, that's why we stay vigilant.

Market and Mason.

Good sized group tonight. On average anywhere from 6 to 15 people every patrol here in San Francisco.

A young man asking how he can sign up to patrol with the Guardian Angels.

Good formation excellent spacing.

And now we prepair for 6th Street.

6th Street was dead so we headed home.

It might be 12:15am but the Angels are still full of energy.

Last one to be searched and then de-brief, thanks for the service guys.

SF Chapter leader Lion going over the events of the night concerning the patrol.

Lion emphasizing that the Tenderloin District can be a very dangerous place and that we must always stay vigilant.

M&M was assistant patrol leader that night and hes giving his feed back on what he saw of the teams work together.

Nacho paying close attention to all the feed back the teams getting on the patrol as a whole.

The best part of the pre- and de- brief is that everyone is always paying attention to detail, nobody wants to miss anything important that might be of use to our future patrols.

We discovered a syringe loaded with Heroin laying on the ground in front of the old mint

Friday night patrol Powell/Tenderloin district San Francisco

We found City Hall lit up for Christmas and couldn't pass up a chance to get this awesome but dark photo

Deciding whose going to post up where, there's lots of nooks and cranny's around Powell area that we can spot crime from

A proud moment in front of City Hall

The City and County of San Francisco bestowing Certificates of Honor to our veteran leaders

San Francisco Fire Department Chief  Joanne Hayes-White asked us to please take a picture with her, we were honored and of course said YES!

Matadore

Skull

Mustang

Close up still too dark

And we end our night with the consolidation of needles we found, what an eventful day
