HUNTINGTON BEACH...Starting college is exciting, but for students facing financial challenges, the first week can also bring added stress. That’s why community partnerships matter.

This week, Bracken’s Kitchen, Golden West College, Republic Services, and the Huntington Beach Police Department teamed up to welcome students back to campus with free, nutritious meals. Mayor McKeon, Mayor Pro Tem Twining, and Council Woman Van Der Mark also joined us to help serve meals and welcome students.

For HBPD, it was about more than serving food. Officers connected with students and shared information about careers in law enforcement, including opportunities beyond sworn positions.

Our Information Technology Services team plays a vital role behind the scenes, supporting the technology that keeps our public safety operations running, from drone maintenance and system integration to the technology our officers rely on every day.

If you have a passion for technology and want to make a difference in public safety, consider a career with HBPD!

Thank you to everyone who helped make this event possible. We’re proud to be part of a community that comes together to support its students.
