Mission Viejo continues to be one of the safest places in Orange County, California and in the United States. The City has a long tradition of proactive community policing and the safety and welfare of the community has always been a top priority.
The Huffington Post reports in a recent article that “part of what keeps those events a rarity, of course, is resources. Mission Viejo, which contracts with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department for its police services to save on overhead, has a wealthy enough tax base to be able to afford the best of the best — and then some. Take the special team of investigators who only respond to traffic crashes. Or look at Kilo, a dark and friendly mix of a Dutch Shepherd and a Belgian Malinois who was born in Holland and now assists in criminal searches and narcotics investigations.”
