Union City Police to Train at Logan High This Week

Residents may hear screams and gunfire as officers conduct "reality based" training.

From the Union City Police Department:

During the week of July 29 – August 2, the Union City Police Department will be conducting training at James Logan High School located at 1800 H St. in Union City.

We are conducting this training to better prepare our officers to handle incidents that are similar to ones that have occurred in the country and around the world in recent years.

It is the responsibility of the Union City Police Department to have the best trained officers in the most recent tactics if an incident were to occur in Union City. 

This is reality based training that will be conducted on the campus. Due to safety concerns, the training is closed to the public. Please do not attempt to come on the campus or attempt to view the training in any way.

During the training police presence, loud sounds, what might appear to begunshots, and screams might be heard. Again this is reality based training and the best way to prepare our officers for an incident is to train in this fashion. 

If you have any questions about the training or concerns, you can contact Commander Ben Horner at 510-675-5225.Brian FoleyChief of PoliceUnion City Police Department
