China News Service, February 2nd. According to the US "Overseas News" report, in order to welcome the arrival of the 2013 Lunar Year of the Snake, Richmond Police Division Chief Sharon Ferrigno, San Francisco City Councilman Ma Zhaoguang and San Francisco Crime Prevention Resource Center (SF SAFE) jointly A press conference was held on January 31 to remind residents and businesses in Richmond District of crime prevention matters during the Lunar New Year celebrations.

　　 San Francisco District Attorney George Gascon said that Chinese New Year is a grand festival for people to celebrate with joy. During this period, people’s vigilance is reduced, and some criminals take the opportunity to "catch a hand" of crime. He reminded merchants and the general public to take precautions and improve safety awareness. He also pointed out that the key to fighting crime and ensuring safety is the unity of the entire community, where everyone participates and everyone is related. He introduced a recent fraud case. Soon after the victim reported the case, he encountered the liar on the street. He immediately caught him and shouted to passers-by to help catch the thief. Unfortunately, the passers-by did not help her. Gasken said that although law enforcement agencies have been playing a guiding role, they also hope that the general public will take action to help the community.

　　 Sharon Ferrigno also reminded that since the Chinese New Year is also a time for people to pray for blessings, pray that the party will use superstition to confuse the old people who still have traditional ideas at this time. In 2012, there were more than 50 cases of these scammers defrauding money from older Chinese women on the streets of San Francisco. This event will also give out red envelopes containing warning messages for the prevention and blessing party and an alarm call.

　　 San Francisco Police Department Deputy Sheriff Michael Biel introduced an anti-fraud eco-friendly bag at the press conference. The eco-friendly bag is printed with signs such as "Beware of street scams", "Phone scams", "Treasure medicine scams" and "Blessings scams". Michael said that the police department has ordered 3,000 of these eco-friendly bags, which will be distributed through 9 distribution points in San Francisco on February 22, and will also provide fraud prevention education to elderly people who receive the bags. In this way, criminals will know that they have received anti-fraud training when they see the old people using this kind of environmental protection bag, and they dare not rush forward to cheat.

　　 Michael said that the "anti-fraud eco-bag" trick was learned from the Hong Kong Police Department. When a police officer went to Hong Kong on a business trip in December last year, he learned about this measure when he contacted the Hong Kong Police Department, because it was very effective in preventing fraud in Hong Kong. Now he has introduced San Francisco to help Chinese elderly people.

After the press conference that day, officers from the Richmond Police Department, together with the San Francisco Crime Prevention Resource Center, the Clement Street Chamber of Commerce, and the Richmond District Counselling Center (RAMS), distributed crime prevention publications to citizens and businesses on major commercial streets in the district , Including providing guidelines on safety measures to prevent extortion, robbery and other crimes and key points of crime prevention, telephone numbers for reporting crimes, and red envelopes to prevent the party’s prompt messages.
