Summary

Chief Flores presented the Orange County Sheriff’s Police Services fall-quarter report on trainings, school safety work, community outreach and partnerships; the department announced a Citizens Academy beginning March 2026 and highlighted medication take-back and domestic-violence outreach.

The Laguna Niguel City Council received the fall-quarter police services report Dec. 2 from Chief Flores, who summarized training exercises, school-safety assessments and ongoing community outreach.

Flores said the department participated in the Great ShakeOut earthquake drill and an Alert OC countywide test, and attended the Community First Conference on social media impacts and youth mental-health resources. Deputies completed safety assessments at local schools including Laguna Niguel Elementary and Marion Bergeson Elementary, and delivered outreach presentations about ebike and bicycle safety.

The report highlighted collaborative programs: medication take-back events in October, partnership work with Laura's House on domestic-violence awareness, and senior-resource fair outreach. Flores also announced the department’s next Citizens Academy will begin in March 2026, describing it as an 11-week program providing residents a behind-the-scenes look at Orange County Sheriff’s Department operations.

Council members heard the report with no extended council questions recorded in the transcript. The department closed by thanking the community for its support and noting the value of the partnered programs to resident safety and preparedness.
