Orange County's Most Wanted Sex Offenders
Sexual Offender Program
In January of 2000 the Orange County Sheriff's Office established a program to deal with the ever-growing population of Sexual Predators and Sexual Offenders within OrangeCounty. This program, implemented by members of the agency's Felony Squad/Career Criminal Unit, was known as the “SOS Program (Sexual Offender Surveillance Program). The Unit Worked with FDLE, Department of Corrections Probation & Parole, and area Sex Crimes Units to gather and disseminate intelligence information, as well as arrest Registered Sex Offenders found to be in violation. The goal of the program was to reduce sex offenses perpetrated by repeat offenders.
Sexual Offender Surveillance Squad
In January of 2001 the Sheriff's Office recognized the need for a full time squad to work with the sex offender population in OrangeCounty. The SOS Squad (Sexual Offender Surveillance Squad) was formed. They quickly adopted the philosophy of a total sex offender management program, not only working criminal investigations on offenders but assisting offenders in the reintroduction into the community. The members are specially trained to deal with sexual predators, offenders, and sexual deviants.
