Press Release: ORANGE COUNTY SHERIFF MISLED COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
ORANGE COUNTY SHERIFF MISLED COUNTY COMMISSIONERS: FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AND LOCAL FRATERNAL ORDER OF POLICE STATISTICS REVEAL THE TRUTH ON DEPUTY STAFFING CRISIS AND DATA DISCREPANCIES
The correspondence sent to the Orange County Board of County Commissioners (OCBOCC) outlines a critical shortage of deputy sheriffs in Orange County. Despite an authorized staffing level of 1,885, OCSO operates with only 1,643 sworn officers—242 below the state average of 1.65 deputies per 1,000 residents. Factoring in the actual population, the real shortfall is 645 deputies. This crisis threatens public safety and undermines trust. The letter also raises concerns about the accuracy of staffing data and suggests the OCBOCC should work with the Florida Association of Counties to advocate for using Tourist Development Tax funds to address this staffing gap. It calls for a financial audit to ensure proper use of funds and for county leaders to fulfill their legal and ethical duty to ensure public safety. This issue demands urgent action to support residents, deputies, and the broader community.
Press Release: BILL MOORE ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY FOR ORANGE COUNTY SHERIFF
BILL MOORE ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY FOR SHERIFF OF ORANGE COUNTY, CITING TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY CONCERNS
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office is in serious need of new leadership. Neither the current sheriff nor his command staff should be elected to lead because most have contributed to the office’s ongoing dysfunction. There are operational inefficiencies, transparency issues, and unfair disciplinary actions that have lowered morale among deputies along with actions that have placed the public at risk.

Sheriff Mina’s statements present different narratives depending on the audience: To the public and media: The Sheriff claims full cooperation with ICE and enforcement of all laws. To his deputies: There are clear restrictions on engaging with immigration matters...
Human Trafficking, Orange County
Pimps & those who facilitate human trafficking will be identified & led away in handcuffs. I have first hand knowledge of it’s existence & the willingness to cover it up over the years.
Windermere: Appearance of Action
Racers take over Windermere. Deputies moved around as violent crime goes through the roof and reckless driving continues to occur regularly over the past two years or more.
Pursuit Policy Bent: Deputies Be Careful
Reckless driving is becoming pervasive in Orange County, Orlando, FL. The Sheriff should amend the policy so it is clear what can and cannot be done to apprehend reckless drivers.
Fortify Florida For Campus Safety
Use the FortifyFL app or call 911 should a student or parent become aware of a threat. The threat was traced back to an 18 year old in south Florida.
It Will Take More Than Money
Throwing money just allows people to wash their hands of participating in a solution, because they did their part: “I gave some money.” I have long said that Consistency in Education and Family Member Accountability are two major pieces to solving the crime problem everywhere; including Pine Hills.
The Deputy Shuffle: Smoke Screen on Staffing Shortages
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office finally plans reorganization to reduce violent crime; a band-aid approach. The daily news reports of violent crime and resident complaints on social media surely demonstrate this need, for many years now. My campaign platform includes Administrative & Operational Efficiency and reorganization that addresses the root of the problem, staffing shortages and low morale.
After Action Review: Pursuit Policy
Over a year had passed before organized reckless driving and intersection takeovers before the Orange County Sheriff’s Office Sheriff and Command Staff permitted deputies to take enforcement action. A review of the actions indicate a violation of policy for pursuits, yet authorized by higher-ups.
