You can reach Seniors vs Crime at:

Brownwood: 352-750-1914

Sumter: 352-689-4601 Ext 4606

Those are the two primary offices for The Villages. There are many others located throughout Florida. They all have limited hours so leave a message and your call will be returned.
Very good idea. They've helped us in the past and encourage residents to give them a call. It's easier to prevent someone from dealing with a crook than fix it after they've been taken for a ride. This is an excellent group of volunteers who do a great job of helping the public. It's good to have someone on your side.
