The Irvine Police Department divided the city up into three geographic regions in 2003: University, Portola and Crossroads. As explained on the Irvine PD's section of the city website, each geographic area is led by an Irvine Police Department area commander supported by a team of supervisors, patrol officers, traffic officers, investigators and civilian support staff. This policing model allows these personnel to be more familiar with the people that live and work in their area. University University encompasses nine residential communities, a region of mixed commercial and residential zones known as the Irvine Business Complex, 11 Irvine Unified School District campuses, University of California, Irvine, and a number of private schools and pre-schools.
