Expanding our Policing Capabilities

In December of 1976 the growing Irvine Police Department moved into a larger facility at the corner of Jamboree Road and McGaw Avenue in the Irvine Business Complex (IBC). The Department also began to civilize many of its functions by replacing police officers with non-sworn personnel.

Loading your Bicycle onto iShuttle or OCTA Bus

How to use the bike racks
As the bus approaches, have your bike ready to go. That means removing water bottles, pumps and other loose items that might fall off.

Tell the bus driver you're going to use the bike rack. Then load your bike from the curbside in front of the bus while other passengers are boarding.

If the bike rack is folded, release it by pulling it down with one hand. There's no need to lean your bike against the bus.

City Council Ordinance number 98-15 requires all alarm users to obtain a valid alarm permit prior to using or operating an alarm system.  The alarm permit is issued free of charge and the application can be acquired:

Please allow 7 to 10 business days for application processing.  Additionally, please submit any change(s) online with 10 days.

Alarm users operating a system without the required permit will receive a written warning to comply with the ordinance within 30 days. Thereafter, false alarms occurring at a location without a valid alarm permit will be fined $300.00 per false alarm for commercial locations and $200.00 per false alarm for residential locations.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW AS AN ALARM SUBSCRIBER:

You will incur a fine if your alarm system generates more than three police responses in a consecutive 365-day period.

Before you activate your alarm system:

  1. Be sure you know how to use your system. Your alarm company should demonstrate this after installation.

  2. Secure all doors and windows.

  3. All pets should be properly contained.

  4. Turn off any unnecessary electrical appliances, heaters, air conditioners, or fans.

  5. Make sure your monitoring station knows how to reach you or someone responsible in case of emergency.

  6. After activating the system, leave within the specified time period.

  7. If you return to the alarmed location, turn the system off immediately.

What to do if you accidentally activate the alarm:

  1. Immediately turn the system off.

  2. Use your abort code if you have one.

  3. If your central station verifies alarms, wait for the call. Do not attempt to call them (unless your alarm company specifically instructs you to do so).

  4. Know your password-the central station will need it to verify the alarm.

  5. Make sure anyone with access to your home or business knows the system code and password, and is instructed in operating the alarm.

  6. Have the telephone number of your central station or alarm company handy.
