Today is Giving Tuesday, a global day of generosity that encourages people to do good and give back to their community. Our law enforcement officers continue to sacrifice their time with loved ones to bravely serve on the front lines every day to protect and serve Orange County. As you are aware, 2020 has been one of the most demanding and difficult years for law enforcement. This holiday season, thank them for their service and dedication to our community by donating this G...iving Tuesday to the AOCDS Memorial Fund. You may donate to the AOCDS Memorial Fund at https://www.aocds.org/donate/. You can also help by adding the AOCDS Memorial Fund to your Amazon account. A portion of your purchases will go directly to AOCDS through Amazon Smile. Each donation we receive helps families of our fallen officers and provides relief to members and their families when injured, sick, or experiencing a catastrophic event. This year, the AOCDS Memorial Fund has financially supported a member and his young family after losing his wife to cancer, a member and his family after undergoing emergency brain surgery, provided hotel rooms to members who need to quarantine away from home due to COVID-19, provided hotel rooms to members who were forced to evacuate their homes due to wildfires, and much more. All of this was made possible through generous donations. Donate at https://www.aocds.org/donate/ today so we can continue to be the support for our law enforcement officers throughout the holiday season and as we look forward to 2021.

Today is Black Friday! Turn to Amazon Smile for your holiday shopping this year. A portion of your purchase will be donated to the AOCDS Memorial Fund to support our law enforcement members and their families. Each donation helps families of our fallen officers and provides relief to members when injured, sick, or experiencing a catastrophic event. Shop Amazon Smile and list the AOCDS Memorial Fund as your charity to show your support and appreciation this holiday season.

Thank you to all our members who participated in the Puzzled section of our latest Courier magazine. We had a large response! A winner has been chosen in our drawing and will be notified today. In case you're wondering, the answers are as follows: -The math teacher killed the geography teacher. His alibi was that he was holding a mid-year test, but the crime happened on the first day of the school year. -The famous chemist was murdered by his nephew, Nicolas. The piece of paper left by the victim had a clue on it. If you combine the short names of the chemical substances on the paper, you'll get: Ni-C-O-La-S. Thanks for playing!

Today, on #NationalFirstRespondersDay we thank all first responders on the front lines battling the #SilveradoFire and #BlueRidgeFire. Thank you for your service during these difficult times and the work you do everyday to keep our community safe.
