AOCDS strongly opposes Governor Gavin Newsom’s plan to commute California’s death sentences to life without the possibility of parole.

We support Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer in his commitment to continue pursuing the death penalty for the most heinous and violent crimes.
Our deputies put their lives on the line every day to protect our communities. Violent offenders must be held accountable, jury decisions must be respected, and victims and their families deserve justice.

End of Watch: October 24, 1988

Today, AOCDS honors the memory of Orange County Sheriff-Coroner Deputy Mark S. Tonkin on the 38th anniversary of his line-of-duty death.

On October 24, 1988, Deputy Tonkin and seven fellow law enforcement and military personnel tragically lost their lives in a helicopter crash during a multi-agency narcotics enforcement operation near El Centro, California.

An eight-year veteran of the department, Deputy Tonkin served with dedication and distinction, leaving behind a legacy of service and sacrifice.

We honor Deputy Tonkin and the seven others who made the ultimate sacrifice. Their courage will always be remembered, and their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

AOCDS was a proud sponsor of last night’s Evening of Resilience, hosted by Crime Survivors Resource Center in celebration of 23 years of advocacy, healing, and hope. The evening was especially meaningful as two of our own members received well-deserved recognition for their outstanding contributions and dedication to public service, crime victims, and survivors. Chief of the Bureau of Investigation Paul Walters was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award, while Investigator Mario Saldivar was recognized for Exemplary Service. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to both members on these distinguished honors. Their commitment to service and dedication to making a difference exemplify the very best of our law enforcement community.

Congratulations, Chief Walters and Investigator Saldivar!
