IRVINE, Calif.—The City of Irvine on Nov. 21 was awarded $2 million by state officials for the development of a Real Time Crime Center that features data analysis and high-definition surveillance equipment to help police officers combat crime surges in retail and automotive theft.
“These funds represent the state’s continued commitment to working with our law enforcement partners to give them the resources they need to fight crime in the 21st century,” California State Sen. Dave Min (D-Irvine) told members of the media outside Irvine City Hall. “I was so thankful we were able to find some funding in the budget to be able to fund this new Real Time Crime Center alongside my colleagues which will put modern tools in the hands of our Irvine Police Department.”
