ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – The citizens advisory committee for the Orange County Sheriff’s Office is expected to discuss the department’s body camera policy during its virtual meeting on Thursday. The meeting comes two months after an Orange County sheriff’s deputy shot and killed Salaythis Melvin outside the Florida Mall. The sheriff’s office released body camera footage showing other deputies responding, but Montiel was not wearing a camera. The sheriff’s office said they are currently working on that policy, which is a separate policy from their current body camera policy, which is under review. Braswell said there is no timeline on how long they will review the policy or if the committee will make any recommendations.
