Union City Police Training

==2022 Dec, Small Incident, Big Surprise== Background: Our car was hit by another car outside a restaurant when I was just 20 feet away. The driver was trying to drive away, but I stopped him. The driver provided his insurance card, but 1. It has expired. 2. The car make and model did not match the one in the scene. The restaurant security camera has recorded everything, and I obtained a copy from the owner. The dispatcher part was OK: We called the police at the first time, and explained what had happened. The dispatcher asked if the other driver was under influence. We told the dispatcher that we did not know. The UCPD part was quite supprising: 1. Two UCPD officers showed up about 1 hour after the incident. It is better than never showing up, but still very late especially for this potential hit-and-run, and problematic inssurance case. 2. The first thing I tried was to show them the footage since it would clearly tell how my car was hit, and how the driver was trying to run away. Supprisingly, the police officers declined to check the footage. It seems like they did not care about what really happened. 3. The officers just checked the insurance info of both sides and asked us to exchange them. I pointed out that the other driver's inssurance was not for the car in the scene and expired. Supprisingly, they did not do anything for this, and just asked me to take the wrong and expired insurance info and told me "the other driver said their car is under the same insurance". 4. I asked the officers what if the other driver was lying and if they could provide any statement or documents about this incident e.g. my car was hit by the other driver, not the other way. Supprisingly, they told me "no", and the older officer also added "we were here or not does not change anything". Supprisingly, with so many evidences, the positions of the cars, the damages on both cars, the words from both sides, the police officers just could not provide any information for future reference. Compared with real crimes, this case is very small and also super clear, UCPD basically helped nothing if they did not make it worse.

Dispatcher not very friendly. Counter person very helpful and later an officer called me to follow up, since I was unhappy. I needed a live person to discuss my claim about identity theft.

Stop gangstalking all these jersey devil agencies need to be sued & shut down there all demonic & corrupt still have not received justice for defamation of character & this pd & anywhere I go there’s a some type of tracker cause it’s not possible there using helicopters & everything I have a clean record btw this needs to stop

Our home had a burglary the first week of august 2021 . We called 911 at around 10:15 pm and we were told since this was not an emergency we would have to wait , which is fine it’s understandable. The cops showed up the following day and took the report letting us know that if we suspected anyone or found any video evidence to let him. After collecting video evidence from neighbors and finding a suspect we called the number we were provided , he didn’t pick up so we left a voice mail also letting him know that we sent an email with the suspects information and video evidence. No reply back . I kept calling and emailing him for about two weeks straight and got reply what so ever. I even went to the UCPD office to enquire but I got no response. It’s been over 6 months since this incident happened we still have no response from the police officer . If we didn’t have any evidence or any suspect closing our case would have been alright , but what angers me is that despite having all the evidence still no effort was put in the finding our suspect or punishing him . My concern to UCPD is that why are we paying so much in taxes to help fund you if your going to turn out to be no help to us. Our home was vandalized and ransacked and no support or empathy was provided . We were in a state of shock and grief when we found out this happened to our home . We felt unsafe living in our home knowing that it was violated but some criminals . It’s February of 2022 and the criminal that disrespected our home and traumatized us for forever is still roaming freely with out any charges while the UCPD just sits in their office doing nothing. I feel disappointed to be a resident of union city paying taxes that funds these mediocre cops for the past 15 years . .

To Lie the community is more like it. The police officer told me the ambulance ride is free. I said no officer i refused to go inside the ambulance it's expensive and it's certainly not free. He keeps saying it's free. I said no it's not absolutely free at all. He said it's free and keeps repeating the ride is free. That police officer basically forced me upon my will to go inside the ambulance and few days later i received a $2900 BILL from the ambulance company. How is the ambulance ride is FREE? Can that police officer describe the process of a free ambulance ride? Lying must be a tangible employment skill in the law enforcement how can you say the ambulance ride is free when i got billed!?!?

The police officers I dealt with were very compassionate and helped me during my family crisis. They didn't talk down to me or make me feel like they were better than me. I know they have a tough job and see people on their worst days but I was glad they were there to help me

came in to have my proof insurance to be signed off and btw which states on the ticket you could get a police officer , the court and dmv to sign off on it but people in the front does not know the procedure or what's written on the letter that was sent to you that gives all the options and directions . And the reason I say they don't know what's going on because the girl in the front has to ask another person behind the counter while I'm reading the letter in front of them the only option for that kind of write off is the court and I ask them where does say that in this letter ? well that's how it is , is their best answer even though I brought a letter that says other wise and I called to Verify if I could do this on this location and they said YES that's what is so up setting . This station should train their employees better or update the letter that goes out. hope fully the front desk does not reflect the actual police officers that works on the field

What does it mean to serve and protect? This agency knows nothing about it. You call this department to report a crime and they will never show up. Fremont agency and Newark are better.

I live at 34888 11th Street where has pyramid at playground. Every weekend has bunch of teenagers play and yelling from late evening until 2 or 3am, sometime even 4am. I have to work on weekend so I called to make a record. They said they will send someone to check it out. I was waiting like half an hour and no one came. Around 45 mins after i saw they go down and run to their car. I know you're short people but PLEASE do something. Day time I wont say anything, but it's midnight. We need sleep for work in the morning
