Crime down in most of Central Florida during first half of 2017, FDLE says
Crime dropped in Orange and Seminole counties by nearly 4 percent, and in Osceola County by more than 8 percent. The exception was Lake County, where crime increased by about 6 percent.
Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings called it “extraordinary” that crime numbers were down despite the population growth and tourism in the county.
He credited crime-fighting efforts in Pine Hills as one reason for the decrease. There were 36 homicides through June in all of Orange County, compared to 57 — not including the Pulse nightclub massacre — during the same period last year.
