Does anyone know if that's still the case?

It seems like it would be difficult to gather crime statistics for The Villages since there are at least five different law enforcement agencies involved.
Lady Lake patrols the Lake county portion of TV, but they would have to have separate reports between crimes in TV and the rest of the town. Same with the city of Wildwood (which patrols Brownwood), Sumter County and Marion County.
Add to that the city of Fruitland Park will soon be the law enforcement for the new Fruitland Park villages.
