I read the comment written by the concerned citizen. This person wrote " working together is not working for the community right now." Everyone is intitled to their opinion.
Please don't give up on working together. Unfortuneatley crime does exists.
My condolences to the family and friends of the young man that was killed. One day after his death a car wash was organized in Orange Cove to help his family. Friends and relatives got together to help.
Orange Cove does not have a police station. We do have the sheriff Dept. patrolling our area. They do their best and I appreciate them. Blaming a member of the O.C. city council is not good. They are not to blame for the death of the young man.

O C resident and mom, how beautiful you are to express hope and condolences at this time.. can't wait to come across more people like you. Intentions are not to blame O.C. City council it's just been acknowledged that when the head of the council really wants something, He gets it .. so can't help to wonder if a police or sheriff station is pursued by Him. The city of Orange Cove would get it.... and Orange Cove is in great need of a 24 hour police station. I appreciate the sheriff Dept. They are doing there best...I'm not trying to degrade anyone at all. Just stating the facts.. and many have agreed we need 24/7 police or sheriffs here in our community..Thank you for the hope..

I live in Orange Cove, but since I remember James Brown owns this town. If James Brown has been succesful is because he has the love of his family and all those bunch of getto thugs. Which means at leat 95% of Orange Cove. Just my thoughts, but I could be wrong.
