Bill Moore Announces Candidacy for Sheriff of Orange County, Citing Transparency and Accountability Concerns

     Bill Moore, a veteran law enforcement officer and community advocate, has officially announced his candidacy for Sheriff of Orange County. Moore is running to restore trust, transparency, and accountability within the sheriff’s office, citing concerns over current Sheriff John Mina’s handling of critical public safety information on immigration enforcement.

Moore’s filing of candidacy paperwork follows revelations outlined in a The Gateway Pundit article, titled FL Police Chief “Don’t Arrest Illegals”, Refuses To Work With ICE,National File’s article titled Local Police Defy State Immigration Law, Refusing to Cooperate with ICE, and Law Enforcement Today’s follow-up article, titled, Orange County, FL sheriff gets inducted into LET gutless police administrator’s Hall of Shame,” where discrepancies in the current administration’s communication with the public was exposed by a leaked internal email to patrol deputies, with a directive: “Any ICE/Immigration related calls must be cleared through the chain of command to the Undersheriff and Sheriff.”

Moore conducted his own analysis of publicly available emails and statements made by Sheriff Mina and posts on the agency’s social media accounts. Moore’s article, published on LinkedIn and campaign website, titled “Sheriff Mina: Misleading by Omission and Inconsistency,” highlights instances where essential facts regarding law enforcement operations were allegedly omitted or misrepresented, raising concerns about leadership integrity.

Public safety depends on trust,” Moore stated. “When officials are not fully transparent, it erodes confidence in law enforcement and creates unnecessary divisions between the community and those sworn to protect them. As Sheriff, I will ensure that every citizen of Orange County has access to honest, unfiltered information.”

     With over twenty-one years in law enforcement and a deep commitment to community safety, Moore plans to implement policies prioritizing truthful reporting, proactive crime prevention, and genuine community engagement. Moore’s campaign message is: Reset The Tone.” His campaign will focus on:

Restoring Public Trust – Ensuring complete and accurate information is shared with residents, transparency.

Community Policing – Strengthening relationships between law enforcement and the people they serve.

Accountability & Oversight – Implementing policies to ensure efficiency and fiscal responsibility.

     Moore encourages Orange County residents to join him in his mission to bring integrity back to local law enforcement. “The people of Orange County deserve leadership that puts honesty and accountability above politics. It’s time for change.”
