Officials opened a downtown police substation in Santa Monica City, saying the small facility will make police more accessible to residents, business owners and visitors and help bolster safety in the downtown area and throughout the city.
At the opening, a presenter said, "We're here for the opening of our downtown substation on here in the Santa Monica place," and added the substation is intended "to bring our police officers to where the people are." The remarks framed the site as a neighborhood access point for the Santa Monica Police Department.
An agency official expanded on that goal, saying, "We want to make sure that not only are we safe downtown, but all over the city," describing the substation as one piece of broader efforts to improve citywide safety.
A staff member acknowledged implementation work, saying, "I just want to acknowledge all the hard work that this man has put into it and his team of the downtown services unit." The event concluded with music.
The transcript does not specify the opening's date, the facility's staffing plan, hours of operation, or funding sources.
