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 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.

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.

Thousands of police officers from across the country gathered in Philadelphia to honor Shane Seiber, a 40-year-old officer killed in the line of duty.
Seiber was fatally shot on October 10 while responding to a report of an armed man in West Philadelphia. His partner was also shot 12 times but survived.
During Tuesday's funeral, Seiber was posthumously promoted to sergeant, recognizing his 10 years with the Philadelphia Police Department and his military service, including two tours in Iraq.
The father of two leaves behind his wife, Lisa, and their young children, Finn and Emily.

SECONDS FROM TRAGEDY!
A New York State Trooper and a hero in the community dived into freezing water to save a trapped man. Incredible bravery.

THIS IS NOT A HOLLYWOOD MOVIE, AND THIS IS NOT A STUNTMAN.
In Oklahoma County, a suspected copper thief ignored a deputy's commands and dove headfirst through a CLOSED glass window to escape arrest.
No script. No second take. Just another example of the crazy situations law enforcement officers face every day.

STABBED SEVEN TIMES. STILL STANDING.
NYPD Detective Jose Mercedes survived a vicious off-duty attack in the Bronx. Thanks to determined investigative work, both suspects were tracked down and arrested in Massachusetts. They now face attempted murder charges.
UCOPS stands proudly with our member organization, the NYPD Detectives' Endowment Association, and President Scott Munro in wishing Detective Mercedes a full recovery.
Outstanding work by everyone who brought these suspects to justice. Now it's time to hold them accountable.

UCOPS mourns the loss of one of our own in Philadelphia. Our thoughts and prayers go out the fallen officer's friends and family.
🚨 JUST IN: A Philadelphia police officer has DIED, another in critical condition after they responded to a shooting
The suspect AMBUSHED the officers.
This is why we must always back the police. They do this for US 💔
Pray for the family and that the second officer makes a full recovery 🙏🏻
These patriots can encounter the absolute worst case scenario at any given moment. It's NOT an easy job, and nobody should be attacking law enforcement if they love America 🇺🇸

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin says President Trump offered to transfer the 28-year-old man shot by an ICE agent in the Bronx to NYPD custody if the department agreed to pursue charges against him. Mullin said New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani rejected the proposal, telling him, “We will not be detaining him.”
UCOPS member from @NYCPDDEA was stabbed seven times. You read that correctly, seven times. These men should be locked up. End of story.

BREAKING: DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin blasted NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Gov. Kathy Hochul for condemning last night’s ICE-involved shooting while remaining silent, he said, after an NYPD officer was stabbed seven times by two illegal aliens with extensive criminal histories. Mullin said New York had released one of the suspects despite an ICE detainer.
Mullin also slammed protesters demanding justice for the person ICE detained, questioning why they hadn’t spoken out for the wounded officer. “Not a word was said by the mayor. Not a word was said by the governor,” he said.
A 7-YEAR-OLD GIRL IS DEAD.
Eddimar Hernandez-Chacon was allegedly stabbed to death by a 48-year-old woman with a documented history of violence.
Chicago FOP Lodge 7 President and UCOPS member John Catanzara says the warning signs were there - and the system failed to act.
Public safety has to be taken seriously BEFORE another innocent life is lost.
Watch what President Catanzara had to say about this horrific case.

This is the kind of leadership our @FBI needs. UCOPS is proud to have endorsed @FBIDirectorKash and stands by the men and women of law enforcement.
An ISIS-inspired terrorist allegedly wanted to slaughter 30–60 innocent Americans at the Mall of America.
He got an AK-style rifle and 200 rounds.
He also got the FBI.
ARRESTED before he could hurt a single American.
This FBI doesn’t wait for terrorists to attack. We find them, disrupt them, and put them in handcuffs.
Outstanding work by our Minneapolis team.
We are staying on offense. America First. ALWAYS.

Anti-police rhetoric hurts everyone’s public safety: SFPOA President Louis Wong talks about the politics of rhetoric.
2020: San Fran Mayor followed the social media pile-on, jumped on the anti-police rhetoric, and cut the budget.
No police cars. No funding for officers. They couldn’t even get pens and paper!
Then campaign season hit - the pendulum swung back and she tried to play nice.

We’re praying for a speedy recovery for the @NYCPDDEA member who was stabbed seven times by this savage vermin.
New York needs tougher laws and real consequences. Without them, violent criminals will continue to act with impunity.

1.8 MILLION DNA SAMPLES. ZERO BACKLOG.
When we took over, the FBI Lab was buried under 1.8 million federally collected DNA samples — with roughly 75,000 more coming in every month.
We surged personnel, invested roughly $50 million in upgrades, streamlined the entire pipeline, and put advanced technology and Rapid DNA to work.
Result:
1.8 MILLION samples processed.
Backlog ELIMINATED.
Thousands of investigations already aided.
First time in FBI history.
That means more DNA profiles connecting criminals to evidence, more cases getting solved, and safer streets for American families.
We said we were going to bring results back to the FBI.

HE RAN. THEN HE FOUGHT AN OFFICER WITH A GUN AT HIS WAIST.
18-year-old Joe Anthony Guzman fled from San Antonio Police, then struggled with a pursuing officer. During the fight, Guzman reached for a gun at his waist. The officer fired, striking him.
Guzman fled again before officers found him hiding in a bush. He was charged with aggravated assault on a peace officer.
No officers or bystanders were injured.

A woman was fighting for her life in the Mississippi River. Strangers and St. Paul Police officers refused to let her face it alone.
On April 22, courageous community members and Federation members worked side-by-side in a remarkable rescue.
The Federation is proud of our officers who responded and grateful for the civilians whose quick thinking, courage, and selfless actions helped save a life.
Congratulations to everyone honored for their heroism and teamwork.
