Working to Serve or Serving to Work? - AOCDS Fundraiser

 

May 20 2008                     

The Association of Orange County Deputy Sheriffs (AOCDS) is launching a fundraising drive, for the first time in the association’s history, according to a piece of direct mail, targeting the communities they serve.

With the mailer, the recipient gets an Annual Association of Orange County Deputy Sheriff’s Decal and a corresponding disclaimer which states:  Possession of Support Decals will not reflect preferential treatment during enforcement contracts, but it will still allows a bearer to go through any green light in town!”.  There are other tokens of appreciation as a function of donation amount, from a $50 Gold designation, to the $2,500 & up “presidents” Plaque and Pin

 We are proud to provide police services to the community of Coto de Caza”, reads  the mailer’s introductory paragraph.  If you choose to donate to the  AOCDS, you may want to ask how many hours the OCSD serves the community of Coto de Caza – we asked Lt. Griffin the question, but have not heard from him.

While you are at it, perhaps you can ask the AOCDS if they are part of the problem, or the solution, or as OC Sheriff candidate Kevin Keys might say: ”Isn't it time for an honest man to run our OC Sheriff department and end what the OC Register says is 30-years of Corruption?” – as if prophetic, the next day the LA Sheriffs Academy is shutdown for you guessed it – corruption.  Or you may ask  what the AOCSD is doing about the grad jury findings concluding that the OCSD’s culture is one of doing just “enough to comply with the law”, or even enough to remain employed.

Clearly the funds the AOCDS will raise will not be used to fight the Orange County Board of Supervisors attempts to dismantle the  3% at 50 entitlement package that financially threatens the viability of  Orange and San Diego Counties – right?  Analogous to what a  Coto de Caza resident may experience:  Pay the association to dole  the dough, then the association uses some of that dough to threaten the resident.
