It is understandable that as the population in the tri-county increases it will increase with all types of people good and bad.
What concerns me is the boldness of many of these crimes.
There is a controversy taking a collision course here. People understand The Villages has no formal police force and can never have one. Where does this leave lady Lake police , Sumter Lake and Marion County sheriffs, etc.
How do the county commissioners view protect and serve their towns vis a vis The Villages? Is Community Watch being used effectively? What is the efficacy of Community Watch?
Are residents of The Villages targeted any more than other homes in other communities?
The gates are they creating a false positives obstructing their efficacy ?
These are growing pangs for The Villages and you wonder if leadership is taking notice or are they too busy talking about the renovation of rec centers?
