Marion County has a lot of very rural areas so I expect that the police and emergency response time varies quite a lot from location-to-location. The Villages Emergency Response Teams, however, would have a very good response time unless they are out another call. Then they would call from another Villages or a closer location.

There are a number of police stations here in the Villages spread around quite well.

We had an emergency ( bad scalp wound from fall) in Lynnhaven (Sumter County) in the Villages two weeks ago and the fire truck and ambulance were here within two minutes. They must not have been out on any other call and the response team from the closest Villages' fire station responded.
