If we see a suspicious vehicle roaming in our area and want to give a heads up to local law enforcement to come and take a look, make their presence more visible, I wonder if that would help that neighborhood in deterring break-ins, a sort of a Neighborhood Watch without the signage.

Here is a link to the Sumter County Sheriffs site;


Welcome to the Sumter County Sheriff's Office Website


And here is the number, non emergency to The Villages office;352.689.4600.


And here is the number for Criminal Investigations; 352.569.1680


When I called the three people I talked to were all responsive and warm and interested in my concerns and very forthcoming.


I think they are really working hard on this and we need to call them with anything suspicious.
