Community Crime Prevention Grants

In 2020, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office created the Community Crime Prevention grant program.

These grants will enable our community partners to work in alignment with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office to support evidence-based violence reduction, safety and drug abuse education and prevention programs.
