Union City Local 8 State Delegate honored
with city proclamation
On Nov. 4, Union City Local 8 State Delegate Chris Scardino
received a City Proclamation for his services to the department and
people of Union City in front of family and friends.
Mayor Brian P. Stack honored Scardino for his dedication to the
Union City Police Department and the town’s residents.
“The words ‘true blue’ truly describe Chris Scardino and I say that
from my heart,” stated Mayor Stack. “There’s never a time you don’t
reach out to Chris when it benefits the police department and the
people of Union City. He’s the first one there. Chris, thank you very
much and congratulations.”
Scardino served as Local 8 President for eight years before
becoming State Delegate and has been the coordinator for the New
Jersey Special Olympics for the Local for the past 10 years. He has
played a major role in coordinating the Sept. 11 monument, the
Union City Police Department Police Memorial at headquarters and
renaming the streets after Union City officers who lost their lives in
the line of duty. Scardino helped design the county’s first police
memorial park to be dedicated in 2016. d
