the Bulletin June 2025

You are Appreciated

T he Department Operations Center (DOC) was recently activated in response to protests in our mutual-aid areas and contract cities. The DOC report states that over 1,000 Department members were deployed to assist the Los Angeles Police Department, the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department, the Santa Ana Police Department, and our contracted areas. Our deputies, investigators, and sergeants upheld the high standards expected of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department by protecting the right of community members to protest peacefully. When these protests turned violent, we supported our partners and worked to restore order. A reporter covering the protest in Santa Ana praised the Sheriff’s Department personnel. He summarized a chaotic scene, in

which things had gotten out of hand and scary. When Sheriff’s Deputies arrived, their professionalism was noted, and it seemed to calm the situation instantly. Like any team, our front-line personnel could not be as safe and successful without our support staff. Our mounted unit, air support, DOC, RTOC, Sheriff’s Dispatch, and OCIAC kept this event organized, and safe.
