Default Re: Villages police department.

Not the police in this case, but we witnessed an accident directly across from our house when a beginning motor scooter rider panicked and went full speed into the side of a house.
My wife immediately called 911. At first the operator had to check to ask someone else if they responded to gated communities! It took exactly 23 minutes before any emergency vehicle showed up. A Marion County deputy had meanwhile appeared, saying she was checking a "911 hang-up call." Our call was NOT a hang up and when asked if emergency medical was needed my wife's response was "definitely." There was never any follow up.
By the way, we live about three blocks from the facility near Springdale Pool.
