But what about patrolling our streets looking for possible breaking and entering. I haven't seen a patrol car on my street in years. I see plenty on St. Charles and Bailey Trail looking for speeders, but not in the residential areas.
We have Village Watch to patrol our streets, but do they stop if they see an unattended garage door open. Don't think so.
We need more police presence in The Villages. This will help stop crime. With all the break-ins recently, I have installed a security system.
This is only my option, and I could be wrong.

I think you're making a very good point, and I didn't think of it until you mentioned it. I often see sheriff's patrol cars on the main streets, but I cannot for the life of me recall seeing one drive in my villa neighborhood. Now, it's very possible they do and I'm just not home to see it, but your post has made me more aware of their absence. Has anyone else had the same observation?
