Welcome to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department. As you explore this site, you will find that our department is as dynamic and diverse as the County of Orange is progressive and multi-faceted. During the past 100 years, the men and women of this department have established an exemplary record of law enforcement service as our county has evolved from its semi-rural beginnings into a major international socio-economic region. Challenges, which in some respects seemed unimaginable have been successfully overcome, but many more lie ahead. 

This is why we have recommitted ourselves to increasing the public safety and enhancing the quality of life for everyone. We are combining time-proven methods with emerging technologies to confront the unknown threats to our communities in the new millennium.

 With your involvement we are confident we will continue to persevere and provide future generations with an unsurpassed level of safety.

On behalf of the men and women of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, I thank you for your continued support and welcome your comments and suggestions.
