Police Department as a new member to the award- winning news and features website, Behind the
Badge OC. Behind the Badge OC promotes the positive elements of law enforcement services
and has featured stories that educate the community about the Police Department.
Behind the Badge OC currently advises the Department on social media outreach and has featured
a sampling of the following articles:
• Orange PD honor guard pays tribute to veterans

• Orange PD officers focus on DUIs appear to be working, with number of arrests down

• MADD honors top DUI arresting officers and `community hero' from Orange PD
The Police Department recognizes the need to keep the public informed of the men and women
who keep Orange safe, changing events, and safety issues in the community. Due to significant
cost increases expected in FY 18 -19, the Department would like to ensure continued services
through June 30, 2019 with 2018 prices.
The original amount of the contract with Cornerstone Communications was $53,000. With the
approval of the First Amendment of $48,000, the total not to exceed amount will be $101,000.
