They are there to watch. To call the police if needed or any other folks if needed and to help in a lot of ways. They are kinda like a triage nurse. They aren't law enforcement. It is comforting for me to see them drive through our neighborhoods day and night.

If you need law enforcement, call the sheriffs office. Or the Lady Lake police, or the National Guard. or ...
