That sounds easy but it can't be done under the laws of Florida. Since The Villages is not incorporated and operates under Chapter 190 of the Florida Statutes the only law enforcement is the County Sheriffs or Local Law Enforcement Agencies. It is possible to get law enforcement authority from the State to enforce laws on Villages properties such as the Multimodel paths, but it takes an act of the State Legislature and it is VERY expensive. Your question also brings to mind "be careful for what you wish for, because you just may get it'. The liability issue on having law enforcement powers are huge.
