Santa Monica Police Department celebrates the opening of the 3rd Street Promenade Holiday Substation during the ribbon cutting ceremony on Tuesday, November 26, 2019.
An impromptu ‘Coffee with a Cop’ Café will be on site for shoppers to stop by and grab a cup of coffee with an officer with no set agenda for visitors of the substation to meet officers, become familiar with the police department and have a friendly conversation. Additionally, the substation will have a display area open for the community and shoppers to view various technological resources and equipment used by officers.
On weekends, a gift-wrapping service operated by the Santa Monica Police Department Explorer Program will be available to holiday shoppers. Lastly, in the spirit of the Hide It, Lock It, Keep It campaign, a package valet will be available daily for shoppers to safely lock and secure any purchases while they enjoy their shopping and dining experiences.
The SMPD encourages all community members to visit the substation this Holiday Season. The Santa Monica Police Holiday Substation is located at 1431 3rd Street Promenade
