Visit Our Website
The Orange County Law Enforcement Emerald Society (OCLEES) is a social, fraternal, charitable, non-profit, multiagency organization with the goal of fostering goodwill among the numerous law enforcement agencies within the communities of Orange County. Additionally our goal is to instill, preserve and celebrate the heritage, accomplishments and the dedication of the Irish American Law Enforcement Officers, past and present, and their Gaelic culture.
Each year the Society hosts several events which provide an opportunity for law enforcement professionals to meet and develop relationships to improve communication and cooperation between the numerous local, state and federal agencies, and like-minded associations throughout Orange County and neighboring counties. This improved communication between agencies results in safer communities and an improved quality of life for all residents and visitors to the Southern California region.
The Orange County Law Enforcement Emerald Society members attend Irish-themed gatherings, community events, and celebrations, to inform the community of our mission. Members and supporters host events designed to raise funds and honor officers who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their community. These funds are used to support memorials, assist families of the fallen, and other programs that the membership is interested in supporting. We foster good will among members of law enforcement and civilian communities throughout Southern California and beyond. We acknowledge the accomplishments and dedication of Irish American and All Law Enforcement Officers. We promote and educate the public about our Gaelic and law enforcement heritage.
