The Irvine Police Business Desk has been named the recipient of the Unit
Commendation Award for 2010.
The civilian personnel assigned to the Business Desk have consistently worked
in an exemplary manner by providing quality service to the Department and
residents of the City of Irvine. The Business Desk is staffed by seven
employees who are committed to assisting members of the public with filing
police reports, providing assistance with law enforcement-related concerns and
furnishing referral information related to a variety of social and supportive
services. The Business Desk is often the first contact and impression residents
have with members of the Irvine Police Department and in 2010 served nearly
20,000 customers. The Business Desk personnel also serve as a support base
for the Department by completing crime and supplemental reports in person
and by telephone. In 2010, the Business Desk processed 1,500 incident
reports or eight percent of all reports filed by the Irvine Police Department. As
a result, patrol officers assigned in the field remain available to handle priority
calls for assistance. In addition, the Business Desk responds to the majority of
non-emergency telephone calls and last year fielded nearly 50,000 telephonic
inquiries. They also serve the community by confirming vehicle equipment
corrections as well as providing Live Scan (digitally scanned) and ink fingerprint
services. Staff members also support the community by participating in Red
Ribbon Pizza Night, Team Kids Lemon-Aid and Tip-a-Cop programs.
For their outstanding service to the Department and the community, members
of the Business Desk have been selected to receive this recognition .

Unit Commendation Award for 2010.
The Special Investigations Unit is a diverse team of highly trained and
experienced Detectives committed to working in partnership within the
investigations bureau, with patrol officers and other law enforcement agencies
to address criminal activity through proven investigative strategies. Their
focus is to identify and address crime trends that include, but are not limited
to, robberies, serial burglaries, assaults, and arson-related crimes.
Proactively, the unit assists in locating wanted suspects and routinely
conducts parole and probation searches to ensure public safety and
compliance with court-issued mandates. They also work closely with
Regulatory Affairs to address issues associated with community-sensitive
businesses and practices. Members of the unit are trained experts in the use
of surveillance techniques employed to solve complex crimes. They have
provided training to other police officers as it pertains to the possession of
medical marijuana consistent with Proposition 215, the Compassionate Use
Act of 1996, asset forfeiture, narcotics training , gang trends, tagging,
computer forensics and internet crimes. In 2010, they were responsible for
investigating and apprehending two unrelated suspects wanted for a series of
arson fires in Irvine. The unit was also credited with making numerous
drug-related arrests, the recovery of illegal drugs and the seizure of nearly $1
million dollars in drug proceeds. The teamwork and dedication displayed by
members of the unit has been outstanding.
For their outstanding service to the Department and the community, members
of the Special Investigations Unit have been selected for this recognition.

On March 4, 2010, Officers Aguirre, Alexen and Bryant responded to
a residence for a woman who was experiencing a mental
disturbance and had wandered away from her home. The woman's
mother contacted the officers and directed them to the rear of her
home where the adult daughter had climbed almost to the top of a
50-foot eucalyptus tree. The officers responded to the rear yard;
however, they were unsuccessful in persuading the woman to return
to the ground. The officers requested assistance from the Orange
County Fire Authority and were able to secure a large tarp, tying one
end to a wooden fence while holding the other. The victim reached
for a tree branch which broke, causing the victim to fall from the tree;
however, the tarp held by the officers safely broke the victim's fall. If
the officers had not devised a platform , the victim could have
sustained serious injury or death .

residential fire to find a victim standing on a balcony unable to exit
due to heavy smoke and flames. The officers raced to the second
story apartment uni,t and safely evacuated the resident to safety.

apartment; however, he returned to his residence to save his pets.
The officers made their way back to the man's apartment and found
him standing in the unit gripped with fear. The officers evacuated
him and he was transported to the hospital in stable condition and
treated for smoke inhalation. If it were not for the immediate action
of the officers, at least two lives would have been lost.
