Union City is one of the most densely populated cites in the United States. Public safety is our priority.
The Union City Police Department is headquartered at 3715 Palisade Avenue. UCPD has satellite precincts at 617 Bergenline Avenue and 2700 Bergenline Avenue.
The Union City Police department has over 200 sworn police officers. Divisions include Patrol, Investigations, Quality of Life/Narcotics, Emergency Services, K9, and a Motorcycle Unit. UCPD employs full time officers as well as Class II and Class III Special Officers.
Reflective of the city's population, our police officers' ethnic backgrounds are varied. Union City has 25 female officers and is led by Nichelle Luster, Hudson County's first female chief.
Community policing is a department wide philosophy and the responsibility of every employee. Through communication, transparency, and partnership with residents, UCPD strives to improve the quality of life in our City.
