Reserve Officer Worcester began his law enforcement career in 1976 with the City of Irvine.  In addition to patrol duties, Officer Worcester also worked as a traffic enforcement motorcycle officer, detective, traffic investigator, and DARE instructor.

Reserve Officer Worcester retired from Irvine in 2003 and joined the University of Irvine Police Department in 2004.  He promoted to Detective later that year and was promoted again to Sergeant in 2006.  Officer Worcester retired from the UC Irvine Police Department in 2012.
