Citizens Ask...

By Michelle Williams

Q : Why can ’ t the County ’ s FOIA Officer give me police reports if they can give 911 recordings?

A : The County ’ s FOIA Officer is not the custodian of any law enforcement reports as the Town of Orange Police and the Sheriff ’ s Office do not fall under the supervision of the Board of Supervisors. The Town of Orange Police Department is a separate entity and process their own requests. They may be contacted at (540) 672 - 1491. The Sheriff is a Constitutional Officer and as such, his office processes their own requests. They may be reached at (540) 672 - 1200.

Q : How do I get a 911 address?

A : Orange County does not issue 911 addresses to vacant land. When you apply for your building permit to build a dwelling, you will put the driveway in and mark the four (4) corners of the new home, then call the Building Department at (540) 672 - 4574, and someone will come and do GPS coordinates to assign the 911 address.
