The City of Union Police
Department is a full-service law enforcement agency that, as of Jan.
1, 2006, consists of 17 sworn police officers. Seven are full-time
officers. Four officers are certified evidence technicians. All of our
officers are trained in traffic crash investigation. In October 2005,
Officer Kevin Kern was certified as a D.A.R.E. officer by the State of
Ohio. This spring, he will begin teaching the D.A.R.E. program to 5th
grade students at Union Elementary School.
The Police Department helps to
ensure the safety of residents by enforcing laws, responding to
emergencies, and serving as a visible and positive presence in the
community. In 2005, we saw a significant decrease in property crimes
and traffic crashes that resulted in injuries. We believe this can be
attributed to the extra patrol promised at the beginning of the year.
Thank you for your continued support!
-- Police Chief Mike Blackwell
