SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio Neighbors Together (SANT) is a community outreach initiative aimed at uniting
neighborhoods together and fostering a police-community relationship truly reflects the unique spirit of our city. This
year, an impressive 402 neighborhoods have registered for SANT, a significant increase from the 304 neighborhoods that
participated last year. This growth demonstrates the increasing commitment of our community to come together for the
common goal of building safer and more connected neighborhoods.
SAPD would like to express our sincere gratitude and applaud all the non-profit and for-profit organizations, schools, faith
communities, city departments and neighborhoods for their individual collaborative efforts in making San Antonio a safer
place to live. We are also deeply grateful for the challenging work that our first responders undertake 24/7, 365 days a
year, however, we recognize that addressing crime and ensuring community safety cannot rely solely on our first
responders. It takes a collective effort from every corner of our lives-our personal lives, our families, our schools, our
workplaces and our neighborhoods. We invite everyone in San Antonio to come by and get information from a wide range
of organizations and enjoy the festivities in anticipation of SANT 2023.
One San Antonio
City of San Antonio - Vibrant & Thriving
San Antonio is a vibrant city with a thriving economy, deep cultural heritage and communities that are compassionate, inclusive and proudly diverse. It is
the seventh largest city in the United States and one of the strongest fiscally managed cities in the country, nurturing entrepreneurship, encouraging
investment and funding infrastructure. The City fosters partnership and growth opportunities in aerospace, bioscience, cybersecurity, green
technologies, healthcare, and information technology. San Antonio’s famed Riverwalk and Alamo are the top tourist attractions in Texas, and its historic
missions are a designated World Heritage Site – the first and only in Texas. Proudly called Military City, USA®, San Antonio is home to one of the
largest populations of active duty military and veterans, as well as mission-critical commands, including military medicine, cybersecurity, pilot training
and basic training. For more information, visit SanAntonio.gov and follow @COSAGov on social
