In case you missed it.... Langley's 'JAIL' Comes to Orange County

June 18, 2008 11:17 by Damon

During the fall of '07, a crew from Langley, the makers of Cops and other law enforcement based reality shows, spent two months taping 'JAIL' here in the Orange County Jails.  The segments have already started to air, but, in case you missed the first clip from the OC Jails, here it is, starring Deputy Bill Gibson.  You can tune in to watch Jail Tuesday nights at 9:00 PM on Channel 13.

Los Angeles Times: Sheriff looks into gun policy

June 18, 2008 10:14 by Ryan

Stuart Pfeifer and Christine Hanley sat down with Sheriff-designee Hutchens yesterday:

Newly appointed Orange County Sheriff Sandra Hutchens said Tuesday that she intends to review all the concealed-weapons permits that her indicted predecessor issued and revoke those of gun owners who can't prove a legal need to carry the weapons.

When former Sheriff Michael S. Carona resigned in January to focus on his upcoming federal corruption trial, he had issued more than 1,100 active carry permits -- among the most issued by any sheriff or police chief in the state. Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca, by contrast, has issued fewer than 400.

Many were issued to traditional holders: judges, prosecutors, jewelers or others whose occupation leaves them in fear for their safety.

But others included wealthy white-collar businessmen, doctors, dentists and financial contributors to Carona's political campaigns.

[...]

The department needs the reserves "if they are here for the right reasons. If you're here for personal gain, if you want a badge or a gun, we don't need you," Hutchens said. "It certainly shouldn't be a political favor."

Read it all right here.
