The University of California, Irvine Police Department (UCIPD) is a full-service, 24-hour law enforcement agency providing professional policing and public safety services 365 days a year. UCIPD serves a daily population of more than 65,000 people across the University's Irvine campus and UCI Health locations in the City of Orange, Irvine, Fountain Valley, Lakewood, Los Alamitos, and Placentia.

UCIPD provides comprehensive law enforcement services, including patrol, traffic enforcement, criminal investigations, community engagement, crime prevention and suppression, emergency management, and general public safety services.

As a designated 9-1-1 Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP), UCIPD is responsible for receiving and dispatching emergency calls for service within its jurisdiction, ensuring rapid and coordinated responses to police, fire, and medical emergencies.

UCIPD personnel are dedicated to protecting and serving students, staff, faculty, patients, and visitors, while responding to medical emergencies, crimes in progress, general calls for service, and other campus and medical center safety concerns.

UCIPD personnel are entrusted with the immediate responsibility of protecting life and property across the University of California campuses. Officers must exercise sound judgment, integrity, and professionalism in every aspect of their service, reflecting the department's commitment to safety, accountability, and community partnership.

UCIPD's Health Division uses a hybrid model that includes Police Officers, Public Safety Ambassadors, Public Safety Responders, Public Safety Supervisors, Security Supervisors, and other professional staff members who work together to safeguard the lives and property of the University and its patients, visitors, faculty, staff, and students at the various UCI Health sites.

Public Safety Responders are frequently the first point of contact for the public when seeking assistance or requesting services at any UCI location. They provide information, directions, and general assistance; patrol and respond to calls for service at the various UCI properties; respond to emergencies such as disturbances or medical crises; monitor suspicious activity; provide escorts; and assist with the de-escalation of violent situations.

In the Health setting, they are a direct patient-facing position often found in the emergency department and various clinical settings. They provide patient, visitor, and staff escorts and serve as a security and safety presence within healthcare facilities. Public Safety Responders assist in placing persons in restraints, write reports, and monitor patients as needed. They also staff and monitor security systems, including cameras, monitors and alarms.
