We've never seen one patrolling any of the roads surrounding The Villages or in the The Villages. They're certainly needed here.
Want to stop bad drivers? Get the police on the roadways doing their job.
I would guess that most of us do not want to live in a police state. Just drive defensibly. You will be okay.
