Today we celebrate the mothers who hold families together and make sacrifices every single day, often without recognition.

To all of the mothers within our Union City Police family, and to every mother throughout the community we proudly serve, we wish you a Happy Mother’s Day filled with love, appreciation, and time with those who matter most.

Thank you for everything you do, both seen and unseen. 💙

Hoy celebramos a las madres que mantienen unidas a sus familias y hacen sacrificios todos los días, muchas veces sin reconocimiento.

A todas las madres que forman parte de nuestra familia policial de Union City, y a cada madre de la comunidad a la que orgullosamente servimos, les deseamos un Feliz Día de la Madre lleno de amor, reconocimiento y tiempo junto a sus seres queridos.

Gracias por todo lo que hacen, tanto por lo que se ve como por lo que no se ve. 💙

This is what unity looks like.

Behind this moment is more than a fundraiser or collection of donations. It is compassion, commitment, and a shared purpose.

The Union City Police Department , City of Union City Mayor and Commissioners , FOP Lodge 216 , and PBA Local 8 came together to support Nassan’s Place and the families they serve. Every pin sold, every contribution made, represents our officers and community standing with children and families affected by autism.

We don’t just serve this city—we stand with it.

Proud to be part of something bigger than ourselves.

Pride. Professionalism. Unity.

Union City F.O.P. Lodge #216 was proud to sponsor a professional photo session for the supervisors who help lead our department each day. Investing in our members means recognizing their service, building morale, and honoring those who carry the responsibility of leadership.

Special thanks to Espinal Photography for delivering outstanding work and supporting our union members.

This behind-the-scenes video captures more than photos — it captures pride in the profession.

Strong leaders. Strong union. Strong community.
