Court Services and Communications Division
Court Security Section
Judicial Process Section
Employee Services Section
Criminal Process Section is statutorily required to maintain records and serve criminal warrants ordered by the court. The section consists of both sworn and civilian personnel, to include sworn personnel who are assigned to the Fugitive and Extraditions Unit, and the civilian personnel who are assigned to the Warrants, Enforceable Writs and Transportation.
The Criminal Process Warrants Unit is required to operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days of the year to confirm active Orange County warrants which include felony, misdemeanor, traffic and juvenile cases for local and out of state Law Enforcement agencies across the country. The Warrants Unit is responsible for the immediate response to inquiries from Law Enforcement agencies for wanted individuals from Orange County.
Communications Section
The Orange County Sheriff's Office Communications Section operates one of the busiest 911 centers in the southeast United States. This Section represents the largest contingent of civilian employees in the Orange County Sheriff's Office. The majority of personnel are 911 Operators, Dispatchers and Teletype Operators. Personnel assigned to our training, technical, administration and False Alarm Reduction Unit (FARU) are equally important to our success.
We became the first agency in the nation to implement the RapidSOS Portal; a system that allows personnel to simultaneously track the fifty most recent 911 calls made in Orange County utilizing device-based hybrid location technology. We also trained personnel to operate Starchase, a new solution that allows law enforcement to safely track stolen vehicles without engaging in pursuits.
