Orange County Insight May 2023

Ted ’ s Talk

Team Orange,

This edition of the OCI is full of examples of service to our organization and our community. From tobacco litter clean - up to mental health self - care strategies, we continue to explore how we can assist each other and our community. May is the perfect time to reflect on public service because it includes public service recognition week, police week, and emergency medical service week. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with an organization that values public employees and recognizes their contributions to our community. Our staff work every day to keep our community safe, encourage and attract new businesses and act as responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars. Our public safety personnel are especially dedicated to the safety of our community, and we are privileged to work with professionals who put their lives on the line every day. This past month we celebrated 25 years in the life of “ County of Orange Fire and EMS ” (COFEMS) with their first ever awards banquet. Awards were presented on a nomination basis by peers and supervisors. Over 20 current and former staff were recognized for their service for valor, leadership, and service. In addition to their daily duties, public safety staff also hosted field trips for local children to tour the public safety building and learn about what they do. I couldn ’ t be prouder of the team we have built in Orange County. Our commitment to Public Service shines through every day. Thanks for your service to each other and to our community!

Ted
