"The substation will serve as a space where police personnel, community service officers, and parking enforcement staff can meet and interact with residents and business communities, said Antioch Public Information Officer Jaden Baird."
""Teams and work groups will also be able to use the space for breaks, meetings, and operational needs," Baird told this news organization."
""This aligns with the department's vision of increasing community engagement by creating a local hub where staff can work and actively invite community participation," Baird said."
""As work began, several additional issues were identified that needed to be addressed further before construction could proceed, including electrical code compliance," said Baird."
A police substation at the Sycamore Square shopping center in Antioch is expected to open in the coming weeks to increase visibility in an area with recent violence. The substation will host police personnel, community service officers, and parking enforcement staff to meet and interact with residents and businesses. Teams and work groups will use the space for breaks, meetings, and operational needs. The space will be available to community-based organizations for meetings and engagement activities, though no nonprofits have been identified yet. Conversion work was delayed by the property owner’s extended absence and by additional issues such as electrical code compliance. No specific public opening date has been set.
