The OC Department content type defines and presents your city departments. They provide an overview of a department, including what they do, where they are, and how to contact them.
The content type is structured to give you an easy formula to follow when presenting the details of your department. Department pages have dedicated fields for critical details, such as contact details, hours of operation, department head information, and a WYSIWYG Editor for any extra information.
