Orlando, FL – More than 750 firearm-related arrests have already been made in Orange County this year, underscoring what sheriff’s officials call an aggressive enforcement approach toward gun-involved crimes across Central Florida.
According to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, deputies and detectives made 755 arrests in 2025 involving firearms that were either used during a crime or illegally possessed. Officials say the arrests span a wide range of violent and felony offenses impacting neighborhoods throughout the county.
The sheriff’s office reports the cases include armed robberies, shootings, carjackings, narcotics trafficking involving firearms, and convicted felons found in possession of guns. Authorities emphasized that any individual who uses or threatens to use a firearm while committing a crime in Orange County will face arrest.
Law enforcement leaders say the enforcement push is intended to reduce violent crime and protect victims, particularly in high-traffic and densely populated areas across Orange County, the Orlando metro area, and Central Florida.
“If you use a firearm, or threaten to, while committing a crime in Orange County, you will be arrested,” the agency stated, adding that deputies and detectives continue to work “tirelessly in the pursuit of justice for our victims.”
While officials did not break down arrest totals by city or offense type, the announcement highlights an ongoing focus on gun-related crime enforcement as 2025 continues.
Residents are encouraged to report suspicious activity and illegal firearm possession to local authorities as part of broader community crime-prevention efforts.
