Regarding the "crimes against seniors", this is a special added feature that imposes harsher penalties to the bad guys.
The landscapers who do shoddy work or make off with deposits, the contractors who do not live up to their contracts, etc, should always be reported to Seniors vs Crime. This is a free service and is a project of the Florida Attorney General Office. It is not a law enforcement office. There is an office in Sumter County (Morse & 466) and an office in Marion County (Buena Vista at 42). The Sumter County office is open 3 days a week and Marion County office is open 2 days a week. Over $1 million has been recovered by each of the two offices. It is a 100% volunteer operation and has some great people (and office managers) working at them.
