Deputy to be honored for Orange County DUI Arrests

LAKE FOREST – A deputy known for exceeding department expectations will be honored as deputy of the year tonight by the City Council.

Hennessey, a 10-year Orange County Sheriff’s Department veteran, in 2008 was honored by Mothers Against Drunk Driving for having the highest number of arrests among cities that contract with Sheriff’s Department in the county. Since coming to Lake Forest in 2007, Hennessey has been honored for his record arrests three years in a row. In 2008, more than 2,500 drivers were arrested on suspicion of drunken driving countywide.

Hennessey is also part of a special enforcement team identifying and catching suspected vandals in an anti-tagging program. In 1½ years, he and his partners have cleared more than 100 cases and made more than 40 arrests.

“He is very involved and dedicated to the community,” said Lt. Doug Doyle, chief of police services for the city. “He produced an incredible body of work this year and he consistently far exceeds expectations in every area of his responsibilities.”
