Throughout the year, the Union City Police Department participates in various police-community engagement efforts to: heighten crime and drug prevention; generate support for and participation in local anti-crime efforts; strengthen police-community partnership; and to foster relationships and build trust with people who live and work in Union City. Examples of these activities include Coffee with Cops, the annual Poster Contest, National Night Out, and Shop with a Cop.
