Public Safety

Safety First

Public safety is a great source of pride for the city of Irvine. For the 6th year in a row, the FBI has reported that Irvine has the lowest crime rate of any other city in the United States with a population of more than 100,000. This is often cited as a top reason that companies chose to locate in Irvine; it's especially attractive to their employees and their families. This is accomplished by a close relationship that the law enforcement and fire authority maintains with the community. Irvine Police Department (949) 724-7000 The Irvine Police Department is a professional, values-based organization where community policing is a way of life. Community policing is the foundation that the police department has been building upon since it began in 1975.We hope you will benefit from the information that has been compiled about crime and our prevention efforts in our City.
