.......Residents of TV have a LEGITIMATE need for SAFETY. Officials of TV need to provide the budget and the details for that SAFETY. Safety is the main goal of ALL government units from Federal to State and LOCAL. Safety can NOT be EXCLUDED from ANY local budget. If TV Land can ENFORCE building codes for SAFETY, then, for SAFETY they can enforce golf cart speed controls.. Personally, if I had a vote on whether to add more Police to enforce ALL SAFETY issues or constantly replacing flowers on the roundabouts. Or constantly having broken gates because they can't make the warning signs big enough or bright enough. Or having INSANELY tall Christmas trees just dripping with decoration MONEY.
..........I wonder, could there be MONEY taken out of the square entertainment budget. What about the MONEY for the POLO grounds, which myself and thousands of other Village RESIDENTS would NEVER set foot in. And could we do WITHOUT EVEN ONE golf course for 20 POLICEPERSONS. I know how I would vote! And now you ALL DO TOO !!!!!!!

I don't believe that non-law enforcement personnel can implement a traffic stop and issue a citation. At least not on public roads. In fact, trying to do such a thing could land a non-law enforcement person in serious trouble. And I do not know how TV could legally create its own police department. What jurisdiction would it fall under? You are talking three different counties and numerous cities. There would have to be some kind of charter and it would have to have state approval. Not going to happen under the current structure. If the problem of non-conforming golf carts is as prevalent as you say it is, perhaps a public awareness campaign would work better than trying to direct LEO's from a half dozen or more police departments to take up that cause.
