I just stumbled upon this information; it is something scary and absolutely new to me. I moved in Irvine
more than a decade ago, way before Irvine, CA was hi-lighted as "Safest town in US". Many years after living here I discovered this was one of the First Planned City in US, news to me. I came here simply because my wife liked the schools. Recently I discovered some public information everyone can see to ... find out what cops were doing in your area on a particular day. I knew I am a genius! Now we all can keep tabs on Orange County cops, after all we pay taxes almost every year! (Whenever we close a few deals)
The secret is "Sheriff's Blotter Information" It is a regular review of the calls in your area if you want to see what is happening in any particular area like ... MISSING CHILD, BURGLARY REPORT, SUSPICIOUS PERSON IN VEH, TRAFFIC STOP, TERRORIST THREATS REPORT etc. It will provide you an truthful view of law enforcement activity in your city in Orange County CA.
I can help you investigate the "personality of any neighborhood" by finding this kind of information.
The Sheriff's Blotter information is taken from the radio calls for service records kept by the Orange County Sheriff's OCSD) it is a complete list ... not including 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 inquiry of a criminal case. In general there is lot of information about local enforcement, I truly hope you never need it.
All calls listed are for service in the Sheriff's Department jurisdiction. These areas are either city that contract with the Sheriff's Department for law enforcement services or are unincorporated areas of the Orange County CA. What ever is told to the cops over the radio is indicated on this blotter. Don't be hypercritical about someone's fault or offence. her is the link to the codes cops use.
