If Lady Lake moves to County dispatching, it also puts them on the same radio frequencies with the sheriff's deputies in the area, as well as the Fruitland Park police. Lady Lake saves a bundle of tax dollars by not having to staff a dispatch center 24/7, and the residents get a better coordinated police department.
If you live in the unincorporated portion of the historic Villages, you are already receiving sheriff's dispatch services, only now, with this change, ALL of the officers in the area will hear the call go out.
I fail to see the downside.
