Honoree

The City of Irvine appreciates the service of the following honoree:

Wall of Recognition
Henry Pontell
Public Safety Commission
The Public Safety Commission set a standard of excellence that continued to serve the Irvine community after the Commission was disbanded. Today, Irvine is consistently rated as one of the safest cities in the county. 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. In 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.
