this is one of the most extensive reports yet by the Central Market CBD. Hundreds of incidents recorded. Everything from illegal trash dumping, including by two SRO's near 6th and Minna, drugs, drunkenness, discarded needles, grafitti, crime incidents, including Passion Cafe, now described as a break in by five people who climbed in through the roof skylight to get the big screen TV and one of them came back to get rid of evidence and that's when owner Steve Barton was attacked. The Mobile Police Command unit is described as being on 6th Street because of the Pow Wow tourist convention (as opposed to any crimes that actually happened on 6th)
Anyway, congrats to the Central Market CBD on this May 2011 report. It's a long one and a big read and the original PDF is here and here. These community guides are out there all day long around the Mid Market area so they see quite a bit, and document it, with cameras
there are two reports. One for the Central market CBD and one for 6th Street. The both work for the CBD with the Central Market guides in brown shirts and the 6th street guides in blue shirts. They often cross paths and work together on the street
