SAFFE Units

Each SAPD substation serves as a base for patrol officers, property crime and crisis response investigators for a certain area of the City. 

Each substation includes a San Antonio Fear Free Environment (SAFFE) Unit with officers assigned to specific streets or neighborhoods. SAFFE officers work with residents, businesses, community leaders, and patrol officers to help prevent crimes before they happen. SAFFE officer duties include:

• Identify and resolve problems
• Act as liaisons with other City agencies
• Participate in school and youth outreach programs
• Coordinate graffiti removal
• Provide crime prevention resources to residents
