Villages police department.
We have a community of nearly 100,000 people. We have a fire department. But there is no law enforcement specific to the Villages. The three sheriff's departments and Lady Lake police have huge areas outside that they have to patrol. :cop:
There has been lots of vandalism and theft inside the Villages. One of the ladies who works at a pro shop at one of the golf courses told me that she and her husband have never owned a gun, but have now purchased one to keep in their home. This is frightening.
Even a Villages police department can't be everywhere, but it would convey a message. Right now, the message is.......there's no law enforcement here. Come on in :verymad:
I am the key holder for a friends house and recently there was an alarm activation while they were away. I went over there and It took the Marion Country Sheriff over 45 minutes to get there. I mean a full 45 minutes. Come on now!
