The Brisbane Police Department would like to share with you a list of significant events that are handled by the members of the Police Department.  The Police Blotter is meant for information and for the interest of our citizens and does not indicate any difference in the levels of criminal activity as compared to past years.  The crime rate in Brisbane continues to be very low compared to other cities within San Mateo County.  The Brisbane Police Department continues to provide the highest quality of service to the residents and will continue to make our community a safe place to live and work.

The Police Blotter consists of only those incidents or investigations that may be of interest to the general public or city staff.  For a more detailed list of police activity, you may request to view the police log at the station by contacting the Records Division at: (415) 508-2179.

Updates to the Police Blotter will be made around the 15th of each month for the prior month’s activity.  To read the Police Blotter, visit: brisbane.townblotter.com.  You can click on “List” view (vs. “Map”) and then the top right printer icon to get a printer-friendly version of the report.  You can also view a “Simple Version”, which looks like the following:

sbmw archives

San Bruno Mountain Watch recently launched the San Bruno Mountain Archives, a digital history collection that seeks to make the mountain’s abundant stories accessible to the public. The archives, available online at www.mountainwatch.org/archives, are steadily growing; currently over 600 items are organized into 30 different collections covering a period of 150 years.

 

“The archives are meant to spark moments of discovery and reflection, both deepening and complicating the sense of familiarity and curiosity people feel towards San Bruno Mountain,” said Ariel Cherbowsky Corkidi, Program Director for San Bruno Mountain Watch. “The collections reinforce that the mountain is not only a remarkable ecological landscape, but also a folkloric and profoundly dramatic place.”

 

The archives include historic photographs, slides, letters, leaflets and documents that until recently were sitting on shelves or stacked in boxes at the San Bruno Mountain Watch office. In addition, hundreds of newspaper articles about the mountain from the late 19th century onwards are being methodically clipped and added to the archives, sourced from digitized newspapers researched through the www.newspapers.com website. Artists and poets have also contributed their work.

 

Please contact Ariel at ariel@mountainwatch.org or (415) 467-6631 if you have materials you’d like to have scanned and added to the archives. Photos, artwork, writings, and more are welcome and encouraged.
