Take your 2 million Fruitland Park budget number and times it by 10.5 That means 21.0 million yearly would be needed to pay and operate a hypothetical TV police department, since it is currently prohibited by law, annually. Oh, and don't forget the start up costs of buildings, communications equipment, guns, cars, training, health insurance, and I could go on.

A non-starter, if you can follow me here.

Just have sheriff deputize the existing community watch, already have patrol cars, building, communications.
