Sheriffs Deputy Union Fights In Mailbox To Keep Harbor Patrol

The Association of Orange County Deputy Sheriffs (AOCDS) is mailing to Newport Beach residents urging them to contact their councilmembers and Supervisor John Moorlach to express their opposition to transferring responsibility for patrolling Newport Harbor from the Sheriff's Department to the Newport Beach police.

Here is the mailer, which landed yesterday.

So far, according to my sources, Supervisor Moorlach has received 7 phone calls and the councilmembers a total of 19 calls. I don't know the pro/con breakdown.
