OCSO CANCELS EVENT
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office announces the postponement of the upcoming Cops and Kids event due to unsafe conditions at the event site resulting from excessive rainfall.
Recent heavy rains have left the park grounds saturated, creating unsafe conditions for the operation of large equipment, machinery, and generators that are essential to the event. Additionally, standing water throughout the park presents a safety hazard for attendees, volunteers, and participating organizations.
After careful consideration and evaluation of the conditions, the decision was made to postpone the event in the interest of public safety. At this time, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office is evaluating potential options for rescheduling the event. Additional information will be provided to the public as those options are considered and a determination is made.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office appreciates the understanding and continued support of the community, sponsors, volunteers, participating agencies, and vendors who help make Cops and Kids possible each year.
Anyone with questions may contact the Orange County Sheriff’s Office at (409) 883-2612.
