560 | Todd Spitzer sworn in as Orange County district attorney, Don Barnes as sheriff, in law enforcement leadership shakeup, January 7, 2019


Orange County’s top law enforcement posts changed hands on Monday, as Todd Spitzer was sworn in as district attorney and Don Barnes ascended to become sheriff.


Spitzer, who left the county’s board of supervisors for his new position, replaces 20-year incumbent Tony Rackauckas as the county’s top prosecutor. Spitzer says he’ll bring large-scale reform to the district attorney’s office, which has been riddled with controversy in recent years for its “win at all costs” mentality.

Barnes, a 30-year Orange County sheriff’s veteran, has been the public face of the department for over a year and won election as the hand-picked successor to retiring Sheriff Sandra Hutchens. Barnes said he wants to be a bridge between the public and the department.
