Do my references have to live in Orange County?


Yes.  You will need to provide four references and
all of them must live in Orange County.
 
In addition, the references must not be related to you or to each other
(neither by blood nor marriage), they must not live with you or each other, and
they must not be employed by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
