In Honor of BART PD Sergeant Tommy Smith

The Newark Police Department is proud to help get the word out about two special events to help the family of BART PD Sergeant Tommy Smith. Please know you will be helping one of our own. Sergeant Smith’s brother is an officer with your Police Department.

The first event is the Smith Family Benefit held at Crossfit OneWorld in Union City on Sunday March 23, 2014 at 9:00 AM.

The event is a CrossFit style “Hero Workout” open to anyone who wants to participate to honor the loss of BART Police Department Sergeant Tommy Smith. All fitness levels are welcome. There will be a silent auction and a raffle of some great donated items and entrance into a Crossfit Level One Seminar (valued at $1000). There is no set registration fee to participate in the workout. $40 is recommended but not required and includes a commemorative event T-shirt.

Online registration is preferable but you will be able to sign up on the morning of the event. There will be on-site delicious food available from Out of the Cave - Paleo Food Truck. Auction and Raffle will begin at approximately 11:00 AM. All proceeds will be going to the Smith Family.

Another event being held to honor Sergeant Smith and help raise funds is the 2014 Police Unity Tour that starts in New Jersey and ends in Washington D.C. at the National Law Enforcement Memorial. Fremont Police Officer Ron Nevin will be riding in the event and representing Sergeant Smith as well as other fallen officers. Proceeds raised goes to the memorial.
