Costa Mesa Police Department

The Costa Mesa Police Department is a confirmed member of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department AVCC consortium, listed on the Schedule A attached to Santa Ana PD’s contract (N-2023-294, October 2023). The Schedule A specifically confirms Jail Booking Search and Report access — meaning Costa Mesa PD can query booking data from PSDEX contributors nationwide, and its own booking data flows into the system.

Costa Mesa is a city of about 115,000 residents in Orange County, bordering Newport Beach and Santa Ana. It is home to South Coast Plaza, one of the largest shopping centers in the United States, and has a significant Latino and Vietnamese immigrant population.

California’s SB54 sanctuary law applies. Costa Mesa does not have its own sanctuary policy. The OC AVCC consortium is administered through ILJAOC, meaning a public records request to ILJAOC — rather than Costa Mesa PD directly — would be the most efficient route to obtaining the full sub-agency addendum.
