In collaboration with Buena Park Police Department, OC Sheriff Don Barnes, and local partners, a Fentanyl Town Hall Meeting was held last night to learn more about the signs and dangers of fentanyl and the steps you can take to keep you, your family, and your community safe.
The ochealth care agency provided resource brochures and distributed Naloxone (Narcan) to anyone interested following a video on how to administer Narcan properly.
A big “Thank You” to all the coordinators and the community who attended this informative event.Photos from O.C. Supervisor Doug Chaffee's post
Earlier this week I was invited by The Epoch Times to speak with them about the Fentanyl crisis facing Orange County.
In 2021, Orange County had 717 Fentanyl related deaths and disturbingly that number continues to rise.
The OC Sheriff Don Barnes has multiple narcotics teams that work 24/7 to help stop the flow of drugs into our County. Please visit the Sheriff’s website for information regarding the dangers of Fentanyl. www.ocsheriff.gov/community/dangers-fentanyl
Fentanyl related overdoses are the leading cause of death for 17 years old and under. Due to their convenience and lack of regulation, social media platforms have become a major venue for drug distribution.
However, together we can combat this crisis. With education about Fentanyl and knowing where to find help is critical.

Last Friday, we held our Fourth District Staff Retreat at the beautiful Crystal Cove State Park, in Newport Beach. 🌊
We had three training sessions focused on time management, leadership and building trust. A big “Thank you” to all our presenters for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with us. 🙌
It was a great experience to get away from the day-to-day office operations to reconnect with Team Chaffee and share my vision and purpose for the Fourth District’s future. ⛱

Last week my Policy Advisors, Jesus Gaona Perez, Elizabeth Freyre and Brock Chadsey attended 📚OC Public Libraries the Kinderpalooza events in La Habra and Stanton.
Hundreds of children and families attended in preparation to enter kindergarten. In attendance were community-based organizations providing free 🪥dental exams to children and ✏️ information on kinder registration.
The children enjoyed magic shows from “Magician Brettso the Great” 🤹♂️ and had the opportunity to meet “Pete the Cat and Mouse🐭” from “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie 🍪”
