These heroes served our community with the highest integrity and honorably represented the Union City Police Department. It is now our duty as a community to make sure it will never be forgotten the ultimate sacrifice these fine heroes made. Through this event, we honor and remember them.

The "Ricky: 267 5K Run/Walk and Kids Fun Run is supported by the PBA #8 and FOP in alliance with the Union City Police Department to honor these fallen heroes. Proceeds of this event will go toward a scholarship for Union City High School Senior pursuing a career in law enforcement in memory of these fallen heroes.
