At the beginning of October, the Orlando Police Department kick-started “Operation Delta,” a multi-phased operation targeting street level drug sales in the north Parramore area. The goal of this initiative is to attack street level drug operations, reducing the associated violent crimes and increasing the quality of life for all residents in the Parramore neighborhood.

On Thursday, October 25, Mayor Buddy Dyer and Chief McCoy announced the successful results of this operation. Thanks to the hard work of the men and women of OPD, 234 arrests were made.

The people arrested represent some of the most dangerous individuals in Orlando. While these arrests were made in Parramore, a majority of those suspects who were tracked are not from the Parramore neighborhood.

Operation Delta is just one of the City’s continuing efforts to ensure the safety of our residents. Neighborhood safety remains the top priority of this City Council. We are committed to dedicating every available resource to reduce crime in the City of Orlando.
