Irvine Police Department - Irvine, CA - Police Stations on Waymarking.com

"The Irvine Police Department is a professional, values-based organization where community oriented policing is a way of life.Community policing is the foundation that the police department has built upon since it began in 1975. On May 24, 2003, the Irvine Police Department implemented geographic policing in an effort to develop greater ownership and a higher level of commitment between our officers and our community members."

"In support of geo-policing, the police department is now organized around three service areas: University, Crossroads, and Portola. An area commander has “24/7” responsibility for each of the three service areas. The Portola Area Commander, Mike Hamel, is assisted by a team of police officers and civilian staff members. The Portola Team includes supervisors, patrol officers, traffic officers, detectives, school resource officers, animal services officers, crime prevention officers and public safety assistants. Each of these team members has committed to serving your communities in the Portola Area"

I have had NO problems with taking photos of Police stations but please respect the fact that some services may be nervous about having their photo taken and inquire as to why... I have found that once things are explained they are more than happy to let me photograph the building, crest, chief... (they are people too!)
