Officer Brittney Taylor put on the uniform to protect her community and now she needs that community behind her.
Officer Taylor, an SFPOA member, is recovering from life-threatening gunshot wounds she received in the line of duty after being shot multiple times during a pursuit and gun battle with a robbery suspect in San Francisco. She is expected to survive, but faces a long road to recovery.
UCOPS proudly stands with Officer Taylor, her family, and our @SanFranciscoPOA brothers and sisters. Please consider donating, sharing, and helping lift up one of our own.

This is the reality of public safety: evil can strike anywhere — even a neighborhood grocery store.
Thank God for the brave citizens who acted, and for the Las Vegas Metro officers who responded to chaos and secured the scene.
UCOPS stands with the officers and community members who refuse to let violence win.

Help Federation members find justice for Gabriel and his family.
Gabriel was killed in Saint Paul last weekend, and investigators are asking for the public’s help.
Anyone who was near Johnson Parkway and Case Avenue and saw anything unusual — or has doorbell, dashcam, or surveillance footage — is urged to come forward.
Even the smallest detail could help investigators establish a timeline and bring answers for Gabriel’s family.
Please call 651-266-5650 with any information.

Another heartbreaking reminder that there is no such thing as a “routine” call in law enforcement.
Deputy Logan Utt was murdered while responding to a welfare check. We are grateful the suspect is now in custody, but our thoughts and prayers remain with Deputy Utt’s family, friends, and fellow deputies.
Every shift, officers answer calls not knowing what dangers await them. Please keep all law enforcement officers in your prayers.

🚨 UPDATE: The man who slaughtered a Virginia deputy has been FOUND and ARRESTED across state lines in North Carolina
A MASSIVE 2-day manhunt has concluded, time to execute the animal.
He killed 31-year-old deputy Logan Utt 🙏🏻
We are grateful to God this SFPOA Officer has survived. We pray this hero continues to recover.
This incident underscores the peril police face every day.

The San Francisco Police Officers Association is profoundly relieved to learn that the San Francisco police officer who was shot multiple times in the line of duty Sunday night is expected to survive.
Our thoughts and prayers are with this officer, their loved ones, and their fellow officers as they begin what will undoubtedly be a long and difficult recovery. While we are grateful for this positive news, this incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers that police officers face every day while protecting the people of San Francisco.
What began as an effort to stop a robbery suspect quickly escalated into a violent confrontation in which an officer was shot multiple times. Every day, police officers put themselves between danger and the communities they serve, often facing life-threatening situations with little warning.
The SFPOA and its members are deeply grateful to the responding officers whose courage and quick actions helped bring this incident under control, and to the paramedics, emergency medical personnel, doctors, nurses, and hospital staff whose skill and dedication are helping save this officer's life and support their recovery.
As this officer heals, we ask the public to keep them and their family in their thoughts. We also ask the community to remember the sacrifices made every day by the men and women of law enforcement who work tirelessly to keep our neighborhoods safe.
The San Francisco Police Officers Association stands firmly behind this officer and their family and will continue to provide them with our full support throughout their recovery.
Reports said backup officers found the suspect near Bayshore Boulevard and Costa Street and took him into custody without incident. Officers recovered two firearms at the scene.
Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to contact the SFPD at 415-575-4444 or text a tip to TIP411. Informants may remain anonymous.
Touch a cop and this FBI will put you down - thanks to @nicksortor for the video we used facial recognition technology and @FBI arrested a subject within 24 hours

In the world of DSA politics, criminals are always exalted to the highest level of society, while victims and innocent citizens are scolded and chastised for even reporting that a crime took place.
Criminals targeted innocent bus riders in a coordinated chain-snatching ring. @SFPD tracked them down, used drones to connect the dots, and made arrests.
This is exactly why UCOPS proudly stands with our member organization, the San Francisco Police Officers Association. Proactive policing works. Technology works. Backing officers works.
Stop handcuffing cops. Start holding criminals accountable.

San Francisco police have arrested five suspects accused of operating a coordinated chain-snatching ring targeting bus riders. SFPD used drones to track the group last week as five people worked together, using an SUV to scout victims at busy Muni stops. https://t.co/v6NVEB2huE
BREAKING: Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson ordered the Seattle Police Officer’s Guild to DELETE this post criticizing her, per KOMO News.
.@MayorofSeattle really doesn’t want you to see this post! Would be a shame if it went viral!
Another example of CCTV cameras helping SPD detectives and SPOG members investigate violent crime in Seattle.
Mayor Katie, how many more examples do you need?
Don’t take away the vital tools officers rely on to identify, locate, and apprehend violent criminals in our city.

After a brief review of the First Amendment, the Mayor’s Office has retracted its request that SPOG remove our post.
They also said they “Look forward to working with the police union in the future.”

At a time when departments across the country are struggling to recruit and retain officers, pension reform matters.
New York’s Tier 5 and Tier 6 improvements are a major win for law enforcement - strengthening retirement security, putting more money back in officers’ paychecks, and helping agencies compete for the next generation of public safety professionals.
This is what sustained advocacy looks like. The fight continues.

Police unions don’t lose their First Amendment rights because politicians dislike the message.
Seattle’s mayor tried to silence SPOG - a proud UCOPS member - for speaking the truth on public safety. UCOPS stands with SPOG.

🚨 NOW: President Trump EXPOSES Chicago after a violent teen takeover, 40 shot and 5 officers HOSPITALIZED
"Teen takeover in Chicago. Five officers badly hurt. Mayor and Governor are terrible. Should call for help!"
Send in federal agents and National Guard! 🔥
This Memorial Day, UCOPS honors the brave men and women who gave everything in defense of our nation and our freedom.
We remember the fallen. We honor their sacrifice. And we stand with the families who carry that sacrifice every day.
Freedom isn’t free - it’s paid for by heroes willing to answer the call when our country needed them most.

BREAKING: Shots fired near the White House. Secret Service responding in seconds.
This is exactly why public safety can’t be treated like a political talking point. Strong leadership, strong law enforcement, and zero tolerance for violence matter — especially when the target is the seat of American government.
Pray for the injured. Back the Secret Service. Back the men and women protecting this country every day.
