officers. By reducing the longer wait time to book apprehended arrestees at <br />the Orange County Jail, they will have the opportunity to remain on patrol in <br />the community for greater periods of time. <br />Negative Impacts (Threats) <br />- There has been great community opposition to continue use of the existing <br />building as a detention facility.
