Sheriff

Sheriff Mark AmosTo the Citizens of Orange County

I would like to thank you for putting your trust in me to serve as your Sheriff. I have been serving as Sheriff since August of 2007. My law enforcement service to Orange County began in 1987 as a patrol deputy, and from there, I worked my way up the ranks to the position of Chief Deputy, prior to becoming your Sheriff.

My Promise to You

I took an oath, as your Sheriff, to provide the citizens of Orange County with the finest Sheriff's Office that I can possibly assemble. In the coming years, I promise to continue to provide the programs that we currently sponsor, to investigate all criminal complaints to the best of our ability and to provide the best service possible.
