ORANGE, CA — Today, Representative Lou Correa (D-CA) presented a check for $1,031,000 in federal funding to the City of Orange to establish a Real Time Crime Center. Funding will be used to purchase updated technology that will allow for real-time intelligence gathering, predictive crime analytics, and enhanced deployment strategies. The center will equip the Orange Police Department with real-time information so they may respond to calls more efficiently, with more operational intelligence, and a proactive emphasis on officer and community safety.
“It’s important that our public safety officers have tools to help them respond to emergencies more safely and efficiently,” said Rep. Correa. “This funding will equip the Orange Police Department with real-time information so they can respond to calls more efficiently and in a way that enhances their safety and the safety of our community.”
“We are extremely grateful to Congressman Correa for his continued championing of our City. Our new Real Time Crime Center will be an investment in the safety and quality of life for every resident and business owner in Orange,” said Mayor Dan Slater. “By equipping our Police Department with immediate and accurate situational awareness, this Center will help our officers work smarter and more efficiently, protect our businesses, and keep our neighborhoods safe for generations to come.”
Rep. Correa secured funds for this project through the FY26 community project funding process, during which the congressman secured $14.4 million for CA-46 projects.
