We stand with Lakewood PD: we mourn their fallen and pray for the recovery of the three wounded agents. We should never take for granted the safety and security we enjoy as Americans. Police officers pay for it with their lives. Louis Civello President UCOPS abcnews.com/US/4-colorado-of…

AN OUTRAGEOUS BETRAYAL OF CRIME VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILIES! UCOPS stands with the SFPOA in condemning Governor Newsom’s move to commute the death sentences of more than 500 convicted murderers, including cop killers and child murderers. Victims’ families deserve justice, not political decisions that disregard their suffering and undermine the verdicts of juries. SHAME ON GOVERNOR NEWSOM! #UCOPS #SFPOA #VictimsRights #JusticeForVictims @SanFranciscoPOA

THIS IS WHAT RESPONSIBLE LEADERSHIP LOOKS LIKE! Outstanding work by @NewEmergingKing educating young men on how to safely and respectfully interact with law enforcement. Teaching young people to remain calm, understand their rights, and conduct themselves responsibly during police encounters is a lesson that can save lives. This is the kind of community leadership we need more of! #UCOPS #PublicSafety #CommunityLeadership
Teaching our boys what to do when they get pulled over! 🚔 PART ONE: How to conduct yourself, stay calm, and not let your ego turn a traffic stop into something bigger. PART TWO: What to do when the POLICE are the ones in the wrong! We’re teaching our boys BOTH sides because being prepared can save your LIFE!

PUBLIC SAFETY MUST COME BEFORE POLITICS. At 77 WABC's "Back the Blue" event, UCOPS member and NYPD Sergeants Benevolent Association President Vincent Vallelong delivered a powerful message: Our officers deserve leadership that prioritizes public safety, respects their sacrifices, and stands behind those who protect our communities. #BackTheBlue #UCOPS #LawEnforcement

SHE POINTED A GUN AT THE COPS. IGNORED LAWFUL COMMANDS. SHOTS WERE FIRED. FOLLOW LAWFUL POLICE COMMANDS. Noncompliance in an armed confrontation puts officers, innocent bystanders, and lives at risk. These are the split-second, life-or-death situations our officers face while protecting the public. #UCOPS #PublicSafety #LawEnforcement Video: @Thefactsdude

WATCH: A HIGH-SPEED CHASE ENDS IN A VIOLENT COLLISION WITH A FEDEX SEMI-TRUCK! A fleeing suspect slams into a FedEx truck while attempting to evade police, turning a dangerous pursuit into a public safety nightmare. Reckless decisions like this put innocent motorists, pedestrians, and responding officers at risk. DON'T RUN FROM THE POLICE. No attempt to escape is worth putting innocent lives in danger. #UCOPS #PublicSafety #LawEnforcement

YOUR VOTE. YOUR VOICE. YOUR CHOICE. My opponent Brenda Lykins supported replacing Pierce County's ELECTED sheriff with an appointed sheriff. I believe that choice belongs to the people, not politicians. As your next County Council member, I'll fight to protect your voice. Join the fight for the soul of Pierce County: VOTE MIKE SOLAN FOR PIERCE COUNTY COUNCIL D7! #SolanForPierce #PierceCounty

TWO KNIVES. REPEATED WARNINGS. NO OTHER WAY OUT. Nashville Officer Christopher Royer repeatedly ordered an armed man to drop his knives, retreating 25 yards while pleading, "I don't want to shoot you." The man charged anyway. A routine traffic stop turned into a life-or-death encounter in seconds. This is the reality officers face every day. #UCOPS #BackTheBlue #LawEnforcement

UCOPS President Lou Civello joined police union leaders from across NY at the Public Safety Alliance event in Queens, including DEA President Scott Munro (@NYCPDDEA) and PCNY President Michael O’Meara. FL Rep. Danny Alvarez highlighted Florida’s HALO law, establishing a 25-foot safety buffer for first responders under specified conditions. UCOPS is advancing its own HALO Act initiative, calling for a safety buffer and protections against doxxing, threats, and online harassment targeting officers and their families. Strength in unity. Protect those who protect us. Learn more: ucops.org/halo-act/ #UCOPS #HALOAct #BackTheBlue

Well done coppers! Proud to have @SPPDFederation as a part of UCOPS.
CAUGHT IN THE ACT. Great police work by St. Paul Police Federation members! Working together, patrol officers and the Real Time Information Center used drone technology to catch three suspects stealing copper wire from streetlights. When one suspect fled, the drone tracked his movements, guiding officers to the arrest. A firearm was also recovered. Three arrests. A firearm off the streets. Another example of technology helping good cops do their jobs. facebook.com/sppdmn/posts/pf… #Federation #StPaul #Police
