Did you know that MBI Agents patrolled Orange/Osceola County streets after the devastating 2004 Hurricanes hit the metropolitan Orlando area? Why? In order to prevent looting or other crimes while law abiding citizens followed the directions of the Orange and Osceola County Sheriffs and stayed in their homes. In fact, MBI Agents observed suspicious activity during one of the hurricanes, maintained surveillance, and caught an individual in possession of stolen property taken from a residential burglary. These hurricane preparedness operations are routine but are rarely mentioned to the public.
While MBI's primary mission is to dismantle and deter narcotics, vice and organized crime in our community, consider the person in the car next to you may just be an MBI Agent. While they may not be in a position to take noticable police action for traffic violators or suspicious activity, often times MBI Agents radio in license plates, vehicle descriptions, and clothing descriptions in order to prevent crime or protect you from reckless drivers. You should take comfort in knowing that MBI Agents are experienced law enforcement officers and are on the roads in our community daily keeping a watchful eye out for criminal activity. MBI Agents are always ready to act should an emergency situation arise.
Finally, please do not forget that MBI Agents, like all law enforcement officers, are human and they have families too.
Listed below are some notable law enforcement actions MBI Agents have been involved with in our community.
