Union City Contracts Dispatching Services with Fremont Police

The Fremont and Union City Police Departments are ready to begin the first phase of contracting Union City dispatching services through Fremont Police Department’s Communication Center. On January 20th, the Fremont Police Department will begin dispatching calls for service to both Union City and Fremont residents between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.

This phase is anticipated to last through mid-2016 at which point Fremont Police Department will manage dispatch services entirely for both the Union City and Fremont communities.

There will be no impact to police services in either city and residents can expect the same quality of service from their police departments. In addition, Fremont and Union City will benefit from an estimated $400,000 each in personnel cost-savings annually.

Residents should still report emergencies to police by calling 9-1-1 and report Union City non-emergency incidents by calling the Union City Police Department’s non-emergency phone number at (510) 471-1365.
