Message from the Chief
Welcome to the official webpage for the Villages Public Safety Department. I hope you find the
webpage informative. As you “surf” the site you will find information regarding the
department’s annual reports, strategic plan, and the community’s hydrant system. The
department is still relatively young, as it began operation October 1, 1999. During the intervening
period, the department has grown rapidly and developed into a respected, contributing member within the
emergency services community. The department is built upon the over-arching philosophy of customer
service and the desire to provide the community we have been charged to protect with high quality emergency
medical and fire protection services. As the department has experienced this growth, there have
been challenges and opportunities to face. It is with pride that I have watched the members of this
organization face every challenge and opportunity with a “can do” attitude. I am truly
blessed to lead this team of professionals.
