Irvine Hosts School Safety Town Hall Meeting

IRVINE, CA - Last night, the Irvine Police Department led a Town Hall meeting at the Irvine Civic Center to present information on safety at school campuses in Irvine.

"Safety for the community is our top priority," said Irvine Vice Mayor Anthony Kuo. He added, "As a graduate of Irvine's public schools, I am particularly sensitive to the concerns of our youth and our families. I'm grateful for the leadership of Police Chief Michael Kent, also a graduate of Irvine's public schools, and our stellar public safety officers who work to keep our neighborhoods safe."

Irvine is a hub of quality education and is home to schools within the Irvine Unified, Tustin Unified, Saddleback Valley, and Santa Ana Unified School Districts. The partnership between education and public safety is critical to the safety of our community.
