Community Watch

WHO WE ARE & WHAT WE DO…AND DON’T DO   

• July 19, 2021 at 7:00 p.m.
• Everglades Recreation Complex
• Open to all residents

From the District Website:  Community Watch is a division of The Villages Public Safety Department. We are on-duty 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. Our mission is to provide a safe community for our residents and visitors by being the watchful eyes of the community. Although we are not a law enforcement agency, we work very closely with the local law enforcement agencies that service The Villages community. As an “observe and report” agency, Community Watch plays a vital role in deterring crime and assisting law enforcement to solve crimes when they happen.

Although our primary responsibility is to be the “watchful eye”, Community Watch has evolved into so much more as our community has grown. Community Watch serves the residents and visitors of The Villages by providing assistance in four disciplines:

• Patrols
• Dispatch / Communications Center
• Gate Attendants
• Gate Operations

We hope to see you there!
