Law Enforcement Investigation | Jan. 9, 2017
It is with a very heavy heart that I extend my prayers and condolences to the family of the Orange County deputy killed earlier today. Already our hearts are broken over the loss of OPD Sgt. Debra Clayton. The death of any law enforcement officer in the line of duty is an utter tragedy, and a blow to our entire community. We stand with all of Central Florida and the nation in paying tribute to the service and courage of these dedicated officers. – Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs
