live getting results this is new six at
six now at six the cost of school safety
has more than doubled this year now some
Sheriff's Office's are scrambling to
find the funding tonight the challenges
of safety first though tonight it's a
new citywide policy and it's already
sparking debate this is new six at six
I'm Matt Austin and I'm Lisa Bell the
City of Orlando wants to make it illegal
for all city government workers
including police to ask someone about
their immigration status news six is
Jerry asket is looking into the new
policy in Orlando he joins us now live
and Gerry
Orlando Police Chief John Mina says his
department already follows this rule yes
the chief said is called the bias-free
policy now a few residents will meet
here on Monday at City Hall before the
City Commission and meeting instead it's
a step towards more inclusion but of
course as you may imagine not everyone
agrees these are real stories of real
families and these are real people many
of them worried about being targeted due
to their immigration status there are
points where they were robbed in their
own household but they didn't report it
because they were fearful of being
detained but city commissioners are
working to ease those fears at a meeting
on Monday they'll be voting possibly to
reaffirm city policy to avoid police
from asking someone's immigration status
it's something OPD Chief John Mina said
his department has done for years
calling it the bias free policy the
Orlando pre-spawn does not have a
history of treating people differently
because of their immigration status we
are offering this is very important you
visas for victims of crimes the new
partner commissioners planned to vote to
expand this policy to all of city
government for chief Mina it's a step he
hopes can continue to help his
department solve crimes they shouldn't
be afraid to approach the Orlando Police
Department to report crimes or if there
are witness to crime
yeah and life here at City Hall now
everyone today we talked to had the same
reaction we did reach out to the Orange
County GOP party and we're still waiting

you those temperatures 84 is what it
feels like the actual temperature in
Daytona Beach 79 so yes Matt it is
cooler because of the added clouds we

just search WKMG and your app store and
is free new at 6:00 a wanted violent
felon is caught after a lengthy search
the US Marshals office and Titusville
detectives work together to catch the
felon after his after he rammed his car
into a Titusville officers patrol car
police say 28 year old Kenneth Bell was
arrested near State Road 50 in Sisson
Road late this afternoon
law enforcement officers say they tried
to take him into custody earlier today
but that's when Bell rammed the patrol
car and then ran off officers found him
hiding in a shed
inside the Whispering Pines trailer park
we do not know why the US Marshals were
originally searching for him school
safety is now a top priority in Florida
following the deadly parklands shooting
but finding the funding for officers can
be tough we're now less than a month
away from the start of school and some
Sheriff's Office's are rushing to move
money around new sixers clay Lepard
joins us now live from Osceola County
clay the sheriff there says his
department is shifting its focus because
of all the budget challenges Matt and
Lisa the Osceola County Sheriff listed
quite a few concessions at a recent
Budget Reconciliation meeting including
body cameras hiring more deputies and
construction on a new training facility
saying in part they had to shift their
budget around because of the new state
law regarding school resource officers
the cost for school safety is more than
doubled due to again the mandates sent
down from the state in front of Osceola
County Commissioners sheriff Russ Gibson
detailed how the requirement for school
resource officers in every public school
has forced some tough decisions we knew
that our focus was going to have to
change the shooting in parkland and the
subsequent Marjory Stoneman Douglas High
School Public Safety Act prompted many
counties to shift their law enforcement
budgets while they wait to be reimbursed
by the state in Osceola County that
meant dropping some big-ticket items
from their planned budget like nearly
half a million dollars for body cameras
for their deputies similar to these we
were right in the final stages of
selecting the company for the purchase
of these cameras and then that
14th took place and we had to change
that direction real quick a trade-off
that sparked quite the debate for those
living in the county but I think secular
schools when you buy in a perfect world
you would have both you know we would
have people protecting our children as I
know teens and what-have-you but we
would also have accountability both for
innocent cops who are framed as well as
a source of accountability for cops that
you know maybe are morally gray and
there are some important deadlines to
keep in mind coming up with that school
safety law by August 1st each district
must have a security assessment done on
each of their campuses and by September
first they must have a threat assessment
team in place in Osceola County play a
part use six clay thank you meanwhile in
Orange County the school district is
still negotiating how it will fund some
of the school resource officers the
district sent out a letter to parents
today saying they're working hard on
school security with the approval of the
upcoming budget the district says it
will invest more than eleven million
dollars on safety and security measures
and the state is providing more than
nine million dollars on mental health
and additional resource officers but the
district says it's working on getting
more funding for more officers new
