I hope this message finds you well. The mission of the Irvine Valley College (IVC) Police Department is to provide a safe learning, teaching and working environment through resolute and professional police services. We are committed to ensuring the safety and security of all students, faculty, staff, and visitors on both the main campus in Irvine and at the Advanced Technology and Education Park (ATEP) in Tustin.
In compliance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act of 1998 (Clery Act), IVCPD works closely with the Irvine Police Department (for the Irvine campus) and the Tustin Police Department (for the ATEP campus) to gather statistical information on criminal incidents that occur off campus. This collaborative effort helps us provide timely warning reports and ensures accurate annual statistical disclosures for the entire IVC community.
To effectively maintain a safe environment, we urge all members of the campus community to report any campus crimes promptly to IVCPD. By doing so, we can promptly respond, investigate, and take necessary action to address such incidents.
Both the campus Police Department and the Office of the Vice President for Student Services collect comprehensive information on all incidents occurring on campus. This data is instrumental in developing strategies to enhance our security measures continually.
Please be aware that all district policies outlined in this report apply equally to both the IVC campus and the ATEP campus. You can access the full Annual Security Report on our official website [website link] to review detailed information about crime statistics, campus safety policies, and resources available to the community.
With increased activities on our campuses, I encourage all of you to remain vigilant and actively contribute to the safety of our campuses. Your cooperation and support are crucial in creating an environment where everyone feels secure and can focus on their educational and professional growth.
If you have any questions or concerns related to campus safety or security matters, please do not hesitate to contact the IVC Police Department.
Stay safe and best regards,
Scott Kennedy,
Chief of Police
