There’s a new commander at the SFPD’s Ingleside Station, which means there’s a new top cop with jurisdiction over Bernalwood. Here’s how Captain Daniel J. Mahoney introduced himself on the station website:

I am very proud and honored to have been selected by Chief Suhr to be the new Commanding Officer of the Ingleside Police District. As you know, Ingleside is a large, diverse area with a mixed community comprising of business, residential and educational institutions.

I wish to thank my predecessor, Captain Louis Cassanego, for the outstanding job he did while assigned here. I heard many accolades from community members about him and am keenly aware that I have big shoes to fill.

My background is diverse as well consisting of managerial assignments in Patrol, Investigations, Administration and Risk Management Operations. I am a 29-year veteran at the young age of 50 and have been previously assigned to Ingleside Station as a new Lieutenant in 2000. I am acutely aware of Ingleside’s landscape, its policing challenges and its STRONG community involvement. I hold both a Masters and a Baccalaureate Degree in Management. I have successfully completed the Senior Management Institute for Police taught by the academics from Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government and am currently completing coursework from the POST Command College.

Going forward, I plan on instilling a strong sense of community policing to the 112 members under my command. I embrace evidence-based policing techniques (identifying trends and attacking hot-spots) and strongly favor a customer service attitude.

Here’s a good email address to keep handy:

I am very accessible and can be contacted either at the Station or through my e-mail address: daniel.j.mahoney@sfgov.org.
