Candidates whose nominations are received after March 23, 2023 may still run for election but will not be included on the ballot.

1) Subject to Civil Code §5105, all Candidates for the Board must meet the following qualifications:

OCSD’s Crime Mapping Program

Residents of Laguna Hills have the ability to better track public safety issues in their neighborhoods with the OCSD software program, Crime Mapping, which allows anyone to monitor and analyze criminal activity. More specifically, Crime Mapping allows residents to search for 15 types of crime by address, landmark, or zip code. In addition, residents can also sign up for custom-designed alerts, as well as create reports to easily analyze criminal activity near homes, schools, or businesses. The crime data reported on the mobile-friendly application is pulled directly from crimes reported to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department and is updated every 24 hours. Although the data is preliminary, the Crime Mapping program provides the public with important and timely information, which will increase awareness of criminal activity and promote safer communities.

Laguna Hills residents can sign up for Crime Mapping alerts through the Orange County Sheriff’s Department website at www.ocsd.org/crimemapping
