UPDATE:
I spoke directly with both Community Watch and the Sheriff's dept today regarding this issue and about what I believe is happening on the south end of the villages. Under the premise that "You're either part of the problem or part of the solution."
I realize that there are other areas possibly being impacted, but I can only speak to the areas where I have observed a problem.

The Sheriff's dept is on it, including sending deputies out this afternoon, to try and locate any possible encampments and has added patrols inside the villages. I was reassured that this on their radar and is being dealt with properly as concerns come up.
Wildwood PD is also aware of this issue, but did not speak with them today.
I feel very good about our conversation and it was great to see such fast response!!

Community Watch also responded to me in excellent fashion. I am very appreciative of the time & effort they extended on this issue today.
They have recommended that should anyone see transient/homeless inside the villages, to contact the 24/7 Non-LE number
( 352-793-2621)
The villages as we know, spans multiple counties & several police jurisdictions. CW would be best to determine what agency should be contacted, if that is needed.
