2020 Irvine Police Department Award Recipients

Irvine is an incredible community.

We're home to California's Best Parks System, wonderful shopping and dining opportunities, an incredible network of trails and bikeways. Residents and visitors can enjoy these components of our community with a confidence in their personal safety because of the 24-7 work of the Irvine Police Department and it's many partnerships with community groups and neighborhoods throughout Irvine.

Each year, the Irvine Police Department and Exchange Club of Irvine recognize the efforts of officers and public safety professionals who have gone above and beyond in their service to and partnership with our community.
