Cities study ways to cut sheriff costs in Orange County
Thirteen contract cities including Lake Forest Aliso Viejo Rancho Santa Margarita Dana Point Laguna Hills Laguna Woods and Mission Viejo plan a study to see if they pay a fair price for law enforcement and whether shared services or a single police chief could save money. City managers say costs rose 5.7 to 7.4 percent annually, threatening solvency in places like Laguna Woods, with Laguna Hills and Lagunas Viejo weighing alternatives. Sheriff Sandra Hutchens welcomes the review while noting current services include helicopters dogs SWAT and bomb squads.
