The Lady Lake Police Department

Message from the Chief

The Lady Lake Police Department is located on 423 Fennell Boulevard  in between the historical section and The Villages. Our department now has an authorized strength of 28 full-time sworn officers and 14 civilian non-sworn staff members.

The agency has three types of divisions of service to the community; Administration, Operations and Support Services. The administrative Division is comprised of the Office of the Chief.

The Operations Division includes; Uniform Patrol, a Motorcycle/Traffic Enforcement Unit, K-9 Officer, Criminal Investigations, a Victim Advocate and an Animal Control Unit. This division is comprised of two Lieutenants, five Sergeants, four corporals and sixteen officers who make up four shifts.

The officers in the Patrol Division offer year-round twenty-four hour coverage for our community. These officers patrol our roads, respond to calls for service, investigate accidents, assist with medical emergency calls, follow-up on criminal complaints and provide traffic control. Our agency has two Village Officers who many times patrol the Village area in a golf cart or by foot patrol.

The Lady Lake Police Department has two Motorcycle Officers. These officers focus on traffic safety. Our agency has a speed enforcement trailer that can be moved to different location to determine speed patterns and the need for enforcement.

The Criminal Investigations Division is comprised of a Detective Sergeant and a Detective. These officers investigate cases which cannot be solved by the initial Patrol Officer.

An Administrative Lieutenant heads up the Support Services Division which encompasses the Records Department and Communications Center.

Our Records Department is responsible for filing, storing and retrieving records reports taken by out officers, as well as, complying with public records request and the destruction of outdated records. Our agency has a Records Supervisor and two Assistant positions that also maintain our lobby and oversee the department’s volunteers. Additional duties of the department include; fingerprinting, animal tag licensing, prepare the Uniform Crime Reports, Hate Crime Reports and Juvenile Crime Reports. The Lady Lake Police Department charges $10.00 for fingerprinting and requires a valid drivers license or photo identification.

The Communications Center is staffed by eight Communication’s Officers who work ten hour shifts. We are an Emergency 911 Call Center. Our Dispatchers answer 911 emergency lines, as well as, the twenty-four police department business line (352) 751-1565. Our Dispatchers are trained to prioritize call so that critical information gets to our officers in the field via radio communications. They also operate the NCIC/FCIC computer which allows for our department to communicate on a local, state and national level.

For emergency assistance, dial 911. To register a complaint, or to ask for general police-related information, dial (352) 751-1565. To reach police administration, dial (352) 751-1560.

The primary goal of the Police Department is protection of life and property, prevention of crime and apprehension of criminal perpetrators. The Department strives to provide the best possible police service to residents of Lady Lake and to those who work, travel and shop here.
