Offer financial support to them, hire them and include them in your activities. Do not increase but rather decrease the police population and help them get out of their current status.
Then I would think this wasn’t all just lip service but a true attempt to help these individuals.

If those African-Americans are 55 or older and don't have kids living with them under age 19, I'd be fine with them moving next door. I'd probably be overjoyed if an Indian family moved to the neighborhood on one side of my house, and a Syrian family on the other side. I'd go out of my way to make friends with them. Maybe then I'd get a proper chicken curry once a week, and a decent falafel sandwich another day a week. and I'll make them some shrimp scampi for a third day of the week (or chicken scampi if they'd prefer halal food). Plus I like Bhangra, and could totally grok dancing to some bangin' Bhangra in the evening.
I don't offer financial support to my next door neighbor. But my tax dollars do help support the poor, and I'm fine with that.
They are absolutely welcome to join me on the archery range and for only $15/year they can be club members and use the club equipment instead of buying their own, if that's what they'd prefer.
Lady Lake already has minimal police. In fact, most TOWNS in Florida have minimal police department funding. They rely on county police departments.
