I am a retired police officer from Florida. I am familiar with our laws. I certainly see the need in some communities but frankly not in The Villages. Some of you are correct about the liability. The equipment, training and support costs are far more reaching than you would expect at first glance. The idea sounds great but we have a good Sherriff. Call him if you have an issue. Retired law enforcement officers really need to realize their time is over. That's why you see the deputies and police are younger and better able to do I the job. Neighborhood watch is great for the all of us RETIRED guys.
