Sheriff Don Barnes provides update on state of Orange County Sheriff s Department over 2020

Orange County Sheriff Don Barnes gave an overview of the issues faced by the Orange County Sheriff’s Department over the course of 2020 in a FacebookLive video on December 30. OCSD has been extremely active over the course of the year, dealing with major challenges such as COVID-19, protests following the death of George Floyd, and coordinating with the Orange County Fire Authority with fire-related issues. Sheriff Barnes spoke specifically about the current controversy regarding a court order to release 1,800 inmates due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, a move that has been challenged by Barnes with the support of numerous cities across the county as well as public officials such as Supervisor Michelle Steel.

Cities support O C sheriff s policies on inmates during pandemic

Print The city of Newport Beach filed an amicus brief in support of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department late last week, while Costa Mesa issued its own brief with the same intent. The briefs come in response to a ruling in a lawsuit by Orange County Superior Court Judge Peter Wilson, ordering that the jail population be reduced in response to the coronavirus. The lawsuit was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union in April. Wilson ruled Dec. 11 that Orange County Sheriff Don Barnes had shown “deliberate indifference” to the substantial risk that the coronavirus can pose to medically vulnerable people in custody, which in turn violates their constitutional rights.
