Sheriff's Blotter Information
The Sheriff's Blotter enables residents to know what activity is occurring in their communities. A regular review of the calls in your area and the year-to-date crime statistics, at the bottom of each page in theOCSD Patrol Areas section, will provide you an accurate view of law enforcement activity in your community.
The Sheriff's Blotter data is taken from the official calls for service records kept by the Orange County Sheriff's Department. It is a comprehensive list excluding only those calls where the release of the information could cause harm to an individual or where the release of the information would jeopardize the investigation of a criminal case.
All calls listed are for service in the Sheriff's Department jurisdiction. These areas are either cities that contract with the Sheriff's Department for law enforcement services or are unincorporated areas of the county.
The calls represent what was told to the deputy in the field by the radio dispatcher. The true nature of an incident often differs from what is initially reported. No assumption of criminal guilt or affiliation should be drawn from the content of the information provided.
