ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- The Orange County Sheriff's Office said it's going to review how it handles speeders because of the death of a deputy. Deputy Michael Callin died Wednesday after he was hit by a driver he tried to pull over Tuesday afternoon.

New details show the 19-year-old driver may have intentionally hit Callin. The passengers who were in the car with 19-year-old Allan Barahona said he had time to stop before striking the deputy.

Traffic officers often step in front of cars they've clocked at speeds over the limit to get them to stop. Different departments have different policies and procedures, but no department is going to ask an officer on foot to risk his life by stepping in front of a speeding car.

It's a judgment call and a seasoned traffic enforcement sergeant with Orlando police department said several factors are considered.

"Location, speed, number of officers you have, weather, time of day, whether you're visible," said Sgt. Armando Socarras.

Specifics about the sheriff's speed enforcement operation Tuesday at I-4 and Kirkman Road were not yet being released, but Sheriff Kevin Beary said he knows that there's a growing problem with near misses in Central Florida.

"They're having to jump out of the way. Nobody wants to stop. They'll ride over the curb. They'll do everything they can," Beary said.

Orlando police said close calls were happening more often for a number of reasons.

"There are a lot of drivers on cell phones not paying attention, radios, all kinds of distractions," Socarras said.

Police said, according to one of 19-year-old Allan Barahona's passengers, Barahona was speeding and cutting off other drivers and, when he saw the deputy step onto the road, he sped up. The deputy stepped in front of him and Barahona swerved to avoid hitting the deputy. Then the deputy stepped in front of the speeding car again and Barahona could have avoided the deputy, but drove right for him as if Barahona had meant to hit him.

"We always review a lot of things, but when we start having to review the fact that we're proactively protecting the public on the speeding and the road rage and what have you and we can't do our job, then we've got a problem with a very lawless society," Beary said.

Barahona is on suicide watch at the jail. A jail spokesperson said he might have tried to kill himself Wednesday night, but was not injured from his attempt. Police plan to charge him with murder.

Funeral arrangements were announced Thursday for Deputy Callin. The service will be held Monday at 10:00am at the First Baptist Church of Orlando. Law enforcement officers from across the state are expected to attend.
