I do agree that retirement communities in general, are "target" areas to some extent. Even to "service" providers, the sub-standard type "business" people who lie about licenses, registrations with the state, etc. Would more police stop the growing problem of crime nation wide, and here ? Maybe. Would not hurt I suppose, but how many communities are not having problems just finding suitable officers ? We seem to have a lot of alcohol fueled "incidents" here, not a prohibition proponent, we KNOW that does not work, but, alcohol does seem to play into a lot of incidents that reflect POOR or impaired judgment !
