San Antonio’s South and Southeast sides reached an important milestone this week as City leaders gathered in District 3 to celebrate the groundbreaking of the new South Flores Police Substation. The project marks a major investment in public safety and neighborhood infrastructure for one of the city’s fastest-growing areas.
Residents, City staff, and community partners joined District 3 Councilmember Phyllis Viagran at the site to commemorate the start of construction and reflect on the significance of the moment for the Southside.
“We’re thrilled to finally be here celebrating the beginning of construction for the South Flores Police Substation,” Viagran said. “I grew up in this part of town and know firsthand how important it is for families to feel safe in their neighborhoods. This facility represents more than a building for the Southside; it represents peace of mind for parents, seniors, and small business owners who call District 3 home.”
Strengthening Public Safety in District 3
The groundbreaking officially launches construction on a critical public safety facility that will serve District 3 and support policing efforts across the City of San Antonio. As development continues along the South Flores corridor, City leaders emphasized the importance of keeping public safety infrastructure in step with community growth.
The new police substation reflects a long-term commitment to proactive policing and neighborhood engagement, ensuring officers are positioned closer to the residents they serve.
How the South Flores Police Substation Will Benefit the Community
Once completed, the South Flores Police Substation is expected to improve safety throughout District 3 in several meaningful ways. Officers will be able to respond more quickly to calls for service, reducing response times for residents and local businesses. Having a station in close proximity will also allow officers to build stronger relationships within the neighborhoods they patrol, reinforcing community policing efforts.
The constant presence of officers traveling to and from the substation around the clock will serve as a visible deterrent to criminal activity, offering added reassurance to families, seniors, and entrepreneurs throughout the Southside.
A Safer Future for San Antonio’s Southside
The South Flores Police Substation represents more than a construction project—it is an investment in the long-term safety, stability, and quality of life for District 3 residents. As San Antonio continues to grow, projects like this ensure that public safety remains a top priority for communities on the South and Southeast sides.
Construction updates will be shared as the project progresses, highlighting continued progress toward a safer, more connected District 3.
