Teen Academy Offers an interactive, behind-the-scenes look into the operations of the Orange Police Department.  The goal of the Academy is to mentor or youth and create a strong partnership between the Police Department and young adults in the community.

The Orange Police Department has adopted a philosophy of partnering with the community. The use of dedicated volunteers is one way of incorporating this philosophy. Be a volunteer!

Do you or someone you know live alone?  Would you like a safety call from the Orange Police Department?

Orange Police Department volunteers provide welfare checks to Orange residents who primarily live alone or are bedridden through our "You Are Not Alone" (YANA) Program.  Many times their only contact may be through the personal visits of our volunteers.  Please note we do not provide medical assistance, but rather a measure of security with our visits.  To enroll in this program, participants must provide authorization by submitting a request form for us to begin our visits.  For more information, please call the Orange Police Department Volunteer Program at (714) 744-7464.
