The Orange County Sheriff’s Office presented Faith and Blue Pancakes and Prayers at the IHOP at 7344 W. Colonial Drive.

“It’s an opportunity for us - the agency - to really give back because they support us a lot,” Master Deputy Stanley Murray said.

Pancakes and Prayers is actually part of a nationwide initiative called “Faith and Blue” where law enforcement agencies and faith leaders gather to get results for the community with the goal to build more relationships.

“When you sit down and break bread with someone you get to see that personal side come out so we love doing this type of thing,” Orange County Sheriff John Mina said.

Bill Solomon, a resident, said it’s a good thing for the community.

“I appreciate the prayers and I hope they keep doing this over and over and over again. You know It’s a good thing for the community and I appreciate the deputies,” Solomon said.
