Dana Point Police Services (OCSD Contract)

Dana Point is a coastal city in southern Orange County with about 34,000 residents, policed by the Orange County Sheriff’s Department under a law enforcement services contract. As an OCSD contract city, Dana Point’s law enforcement data flows through OCSD’s AVCC consortium agreement with LexisNexis — administered through ILJAOC — without a separate sub-agency addendum for the city.

Dana Point is a tourist and marina destination, with a significant population of Mexican and Central American immigrants working in hospitality, fishing, and construction. All incidents handled by OCSD deputies in the city — including contacts with this community — feed into the same LexisNexis data pipeline as incidents in Santa Ana and Anaheim.

California’s SB54 applies throughout Orange County. The contract-city structure means that Dana Point residents, despite having no vote on police data-sharing arrangements specific to their city, are covered by OCSD’s data decisions.
