Police Services
The City of Mission Viejo contracts with the Orange County Sheriff's Department for Police Services. The Sheriff's Department is responsible for the protection of citizens, enforcement of laws, and crime prevention. Law enforcement services include patrol, general and special crime investigations, a Special Enforcement Team (S.E.T.), five School Resource Officers (SROs), traffic enforcement, collision investigation, parking enforcement, and a crime prevention unit.
The City of Mission Viejo enjoys the reputation of being not only one of the safest cities in Orange County, but also one of the safest communities in the entire nation for populations under 100,000.
Residents in Orange County Sheriff’s Department contract cities and unincorporated areas will be able to better track public safety issues in their neighborhoods with a recently launched software program that allows them to monitor and analyze criminal activity in their area.
In an effort to bolster community awareness and crime prevention, the Department has partnered with TriTech Software Systems to launch CrimeMapping – an interactive application that shares crime calls.
CrimeMapping will allow residents to search for 15 types of crime by address, landmark or zip code. Residents also will be able to sign up for custom-designed alerts and can create reports to easily analyze criminal activity near their homes, schools or businesses.
