History
Initial years
The Orange County Sheriff's Department came into existence on 1 August 1889, when the state legislative proclamation separated the southern part of Los Angeles County and created Orange County. The entire department consists of Sheriff Richard Harris and Vice James Buckley, with an operating budget of $ 1,200 per year and an emergency prison in a rented basement of a store in Santa Ana. They serve an area of ​​13,000 sparsely populated inhabitants, scattered throughout isolated towns and settlements. The problems faced by the first sheriff are typical for border areas - tracing criminals, controlling intelligence, and trying to maintain law and order in 782 square miles (2,030 km 2 ) of agricultural land and undeveloped areas.
But the area is growing, and the department grows with it. The Spurgeon Square Jail was opened by Sheriff Joe Nichols in 1897, and the Orange County Courthouse followed in 1901. Sheriff Theo Lacy (second and fourth sheriff from Orange County, who served from 1890-1894 and 1899-1911) was able to move from office space which was borrowed in Santa Ana to a special headquarters in the courthouse that remained in operation until 1924.
When he came to power in 1911, Sheriff Charles Ruddock ordered the staff of eight full-time deputies and jailers, serving an area of ​​nearly 34,000 residents. But the borders of the past border back haunted on December 16, 1912, when Undersheriff Robert Squires became the first member of the department to be killed while on duty while part of the posse tried to capture the fugitive violent.
The growing population in the region brings new challenges. Most of the county had banned liquor by the time the Sheriff Calvin Jackson came to power in 1915. The raid of "blind" businesses serving as a front for illegal liquor sales was common. When Congress passed the 18th Amendment of 1920, the Prohibition became state law. Suppressing illegal liquor operations became the department's main focus over the next decade.
By the time Sheriff Sam Jernigan came to power in 1923, rum runners and regular soft drink makers along the coastline and in the port of Orange County, used them as operational bases to smuggle Canadian liquor into the country. Thanks to Jernigan's perseverance, many of them end up spending time at the new county jail on Sycamore Street in Santa Ana, a building that will serve as the main prison and OCSD headquarters for the next forty-four years. Jernigan remained in office until the end of the decade. By 1930, the department had grown to include eighteen full-time personnel with an operating budget of $ 49,582. The district population is close to 119,000, more than half of which are scattered in most rural landscapes.
Sheriff Logan Jackson took office in 1931, and for the next eight years led the department through a tumultuous decade. The Long Beach Earthquake of 1933 caused widespread damage throughout the area, especially in Santa Ana. In 1938, a week of heavy rain poured down the Santa Ana River, causing a massive flood that caused more damage than $ 30 million. The sheriff also had to deal with the Citrus Riot of 1936, the agricultural labor dispute which caused the next strike and subsequent disorder so great that Sheriff Jackson swears in over four hundred special deputies to help control the violence. But Jackson's term in office also saw progress for the department, such as the expansion of Sycamore Prison which included the first radio delivery center in the region. One of his last acts as a sheriff was to apply standard uniforms and badges to his thirty deputies.
World War II and Creation Bureau of the Reserve
Sheriff Jesse Elliott succeeded Jackson in 1939, just when the Depression was over and the county once again began to prosper. This time of peace was shortened by the outbreak of World War II in 1941, which created a challenge unlike anything else in the history of the department. Most of the Orange County peace officers went to war, leaving the department very underpowered. This is exacerbated by the fact that in addition to its normal responsibilities, the sheriff is now asked to assist with necessary civil defense measures such as air strikes and power outages, and assisting the police of seven wartime military bases on the state border. Elliott suddenly found himself responsible for twice as many tasks with only a fraction of his former staff to carry it out. To meet this need, he formed the Sheriff's Sanctuary, which eventually became the department's Reserve Bureau at the moment.
Post World War II
In 1946, a retired NFL star and former deputy James A. Musick came home from the war and managed to run for the sheriff's position, taking over command in 1947. He will serve as a sheriff for the next twenty-eight years - the longest term in office department of history. When he came to power, the county was still largely rural, with a population of 216,000 serviced by only seventy-six departments. During the reign of Musick, a number of divisions and facilities were assigned that remained active to this day. He implemented the district's first crime lab, the first Peace Training Center (now known as Katella Facility), and the country's first law enforcement post. The 1960s saw the development of the Orange County Industrial Estates (later renamed the James A. Musick Jail Facility), Theo Lacy Facility, and the central office and central prisons are still in use today. In response to civil unrest in the late 1960s, Musick formed the Emergency Action Group law enforcement team (EAGLE), a group of deputies with special training in various controls of riots and special tactics. Although the team was dissolved several years later, certain platoons evolved into the modern SWAT, Dangerous Device, and Installed Patrol unit. The department grew larger when the Coroner's Office joined him in 1971. When Musick retired in 1974, the area has developed into a rapid urbanized population of over 1,400,000, with a department that has grown to more than 900 staff.
Successor of the self-selected Musick was Brad Gates, who became a sheriff in 1975. The department continued its rapid expansion during his reign, with the merger of two more agents - Orange County Port Patrol and Stanton Police Department. In response to severe prison densities, the Intake Intake Center was opened in 1988, complementing the modern Central Prison Complex. Gates also established the Air Support Bureau and created Laser Village tactical training center, as well as the first DNA laboratory in the district. The ongoing urbanization in the area resulted in several cities combining and contracting patrols. Gates also steered the department through severe county bankruptcy challenges in 1994. By the time he retired in 1999, the department had grown to more than 3,000 members.
Sheriff Carona
Sheriff Michael Carona took office in 1999, and oversaw the incorporation of the Orange County Marshal Department (former agent) with OCSD. His tenure brought additional departmental expansion, including the modernized Katella Facility and the new OCSD Academy in Tustin. The patrol car was equipped with a mobile computer, and an anti-terrorism unit was formed in response to the events of 11 September 2001. Carona received an initial spike in popularity due to the handling of high profile case departments like Samantha Runnion's kidnapping and murder. In 2007, Carona and her former executive staff member were charged with double corruption charges. He was convicted for crimes and entered the Englewood Federal Penitentiary in January 2011. Carona was released in May 2015 to complete his sentence with the confinement of the house.
Substitute Carona, retired Sheriff Commander L.A. Sandra Hutchens, appointed by the Regional Supervisory Board after a national search for suitable candidates. Hutchens reorganizes agents after taking office, and creating new branches such as the Homeland Security Division, an integrated command to various bureaus responsible for regional security. The next economic challenge requires cutting departmental budgets, and making it necessary to streamline all agencies.
Bed for FBI
In 2010 OCSD and Immigration and Customs (ICE) reached an agreement that would allow federal detainees to be deployed to Jail County Orange facilities and several deputies have been trained as ICE Special Agents.

Orange County Sheriff's Department Explorer Post 449
In November 1959, Orange County Sheriff James A. Musick wanted a "youth," who wanted an exposure in law enforcement to be given the opportunity to do so. In a newspaper article he stated, "We organized the group after we discovered that Explorer Posts special interest took our best young men from our high school, we decided instead of taking what was left after another business field took the best, that we should start training young men of high school age now for a career in law enforcement. "
Thus, the country's first Shooting Stance Enforcement Post was established. The goal is, "To train youth today for a future that awaits them in the field of law enforcement tomorrow.To stimulate the interest of young people in law enforcement practices, ethical codes, and the quality of both expected citizenship, to briefly explore all phases of law enforcement and a definite approach to childrens courtesy. "Heading 449 begins with twenty-eight explorers in Santa Ana who must qualify as" between 14 and 21, must maintain an average "B" in school, have a clean record, citizenship which is remarkable in their community and has a flawless general reputation. "
In 1973, after fifteen years only young men were allowed in the Exploring program, Boy Scouts of America allowed young women to explore careers in law enforcement through membership in the Program Explorer. Maintaining the same high standards for qualification and training these young women diversify the Department Posts.
When residents of contract towns and unincorporated county areas need help they call the Sheriff's Department; when the Sheriff's Department needs help, they call their Explorer. The Orange County Sheriff's Explorer Post supports the deputies during road closures caused by natural disasters such as landslides, floods and forest fires. They complete a search mission where people are missing or evidence sought, and are deployed to protect us protect the perimeter of the scene. This engagement, by explorers, allows Deputies to be available for calls to services.
Explorers are also used to help in public education. They distribute brochures describing changes in parking regulations or temporary road closures. During the Rodeo Bicycle Event, Explorers demonstrated to children how to measure and use a bicycle helmet correctly. They offer child identification and crime awareness, through the "Kid-Print" program and assist in demonstrations of crime prevention throughout the region.
Explorers Department serves the community by providing crowd and traffic control during Graduation Academy Basics, Dedication County Building, grand opening Mall, Exhibition of community awareness, 10 K walks, parades and many other charity activities. The Post Color Guard is used to present flags in the City Council and Regional Watchdogs of meetings, as well as scouting and civil events.
The Orange County Sheriff's Department Explorers participates in law enforcement competitions across the state. Through the use of â € Å"Laser Villageâ € Department and its Training Staff, Post 449 Explorers has learned skills that enable them to win several awards in scenarios Felony Car Stop, D.U.I., Bomb Threat and Search and Building Search. The Explorers also competed in the Tug-of War, Volleyball and Obstacle competitions.
The Sheriff's personnel, who volunteered as Advisor to Postal Department, contributed countless hours to expose the youth to the Law Enforcement Career. Their commitment to progress of the Exploring program goes beyond Postal Department. Department Advisors also serve in organizations throughout the County as Ranking Officials, Academy Directors, Tactical Training Officers, and Instructors at Explorer Academy. In addition to Orange County, this Counselor has trained and taught Explorers from Kern, Los Angeles, San Diego, Riverside, and Ventura County.
