‘Public safety starts at home’: Stockton PD opens Sierra Vista neighborhood substation

AT THE EDGE of the Sierra Vista Housing Authority in south Stockton on Tuesday, residents paused to watch as city officials cut through an azure blue ribbon, marking the city’s first substation in nearly two decades. 

Among the onlookers were longtime residents Jaime Hernandez and Raul Espinoza Serrano, the pair watching from a distance next door as strobe lights of patrol cars barricading the street flashed.
