We do not make jokes, we simply watch the LA Times, the Orange County Register and CID/HOA board of directors and report the facts!
It is Official – it is Now Sheriff Hutchens to You Buster!
Now the OCSD have to contend with a self described consensus driven leader who wants to walk the talk – and she is talking loud and clear!
June
24,
2008
Sheriff Sandra Hutchens was sworn in as the 12th Sheriff of the County of
Orange this morning, in a ceremony taking place
on the steps in front of the Old County Court House,
located at 211 W. Santa Ana Blvd, in Santa Ana.
As predictable, members of the Board of Supervisors,
dignitaries, along with city and county officials, are
in attendance to witness this historic event, along
with unprecedented number of the members of the press.
During an interview with Sheriff Hutchens yesterday we asked her how she could manage to keep herself so calm, cool and collected - the staff surrounding her seemed as cool, but showed a lot of excitement!
She mentioned that she had started to work the minute she was
named the new Sheriff by the Orange County Board of
Supervisors.
We suggested that perhaps she had been working
much, much earlier than that.
She agreed.
This does not bode well for the dead wood
lumbering across the OCS department, used to doing
“simply what the law requires”, rather than
commons sense and lots of heavy lifting.
Digressing, we
previously posted that organizational culture
can be viewed as the basic pattern of shared
assumptions, values, and beliefs governing the way
employees within an organization think about and act
on problems and opportunities.
Observable symbols and signs of an
organization's culture include organizational stories
and legends, rituals and ceremonies, language,
physical structures and symbols.
We used the examples of secret grand jury
testimony where an Orange County sheriff's detective
described a frat-
house culture (see OC Register article)
in the department, or a former jailed official
sharing his “conquest book” – now the OCSD
have to contend with a self described consensus driven
leader who wants to walk the talk – and she is
talking loud and clear!

Loopholes, the OCWWF and the next OCSD You cannot be part of the solution when you have been part of the problem, as in Lt Hunt. The Spin Machines for Hutchens and Walters for OC Sheriff are full throttle trying to persuade the Orange County Board of Supervisors that their gal or guy is the right person for the job. So much dirt is flowing in both directions putting SUV commercials to shame. Then, there are the Lt. Hunt supporters doing a Hilary impersonation tying to get their guy the number two spot, or any spot for that matter, in the new OCSD.
