The Orange County Sheriff's Office is making the following steps in response to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic:

• Following the CDC guidelines, we have canceled most public events.
• Our enforcement actions and protocols have not changed significantly at this time. But because of the State of Emergency related to Coronavirus, the Orange County Sheriff's Office has temporarily suspended all eviction activities until further notice.
• Deputies, of course, are responding to calls for service. We are working to make sure that if we are called to assist, we have the adequate resources to keep all deputies safe and protected from exposure. Our Deputies are trained for what to do in the event they are exposed to a number of contagions, and they follow very specific protocols in those instances.
• We ask that when possible, people file reports online in cases such as over-with vehicle burglaries, lost property and identity theft. Instructions on how to file an E-Report.
• The Sheriff’s Office works with each hospital in Orange County regarding their own operational plans for contagious disease outbreaks and we provide security at any affected hospitals. We have directed civilian employees to follow the guidance we’ve received from the county, from state health officials and from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
• Most of our School Resource Deputies will fill other roles throughout the agency while schools are closed.
• OCSO is continuing to pay our School Crossing Guards for their regular work hours during the times schools would otherwise be in session.

 

We are all in this together and practicing social distancing measures is one of the best ways we can prevent Coronavirus from further spreading in our community. But we want everyone to know that the Orange County Sheriff’s Office stands ready, as always, to protect and serve the residents and visitors of Orange County.
