Providing for the care and custody of up to 6,000 inmates in our facilities is the primary mission of the OC Sheriff Custody Operations Command.
Although COVID-19 presented adversity for jail facilities across the nation, the Sheriff’s Department established itself a leader in protecting the health and safety of those entrusted to our care by implementing practices to reduce transmission rates among inmates and personnel.
In addition to safety, we also expanded services to inmates with mental health or substance use disorders, reinstated interactive programs credited with reducing recidivism and instituted new training opportunities for personnel.
