Police Display Arsenal Seized In Union City

UNION CITY, CA — Local police departments frequently announce that they seize a gun or two during an arrest. How does that add up? The Union City Police Department just gave a stark display of the impact of repeated gun seizures.

So far this year, UCPD has taken 82 handguns and rifles off the streets. About half of them are displayed in photos released by the department on Thursday.

"Most of these firearms were taken as part of a criminal investigation and showcase the hard work being done to make our community safer," the department said when releasing the photos.

Their top tip to keep guns owned by law-abiding citizens out of the hands of criminals: keep them locked in a safe that is bolted to the floor or wall.

UCPD has free cable locks obtained from Project Safe Neighborhoods. Pick one up at the front counter of UCPD Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
