Saw a Leisure Village "Patrol" car in Seal Beach on their property not to long ago with red and blue lights on their units. And then saw this pic from Ventura on flickr. Anyone know what their status is- IE do they have agreements with the locals to have peace powers for the blue lights? Just curious. Didn't see any of their officers to ask.

Haha. So dang ugly.

So.........are they cops?

[FJDave]

They can't enforce laws if they are not peace officers...maybe they have an agreement with the HOA that if someone is caught speeding or whatever that their HOA dues get fined or something. But if they are not peace officers and they red light me, what is my incentive to stop (other than being a nice guy)?

Hey look we could buy their patch on ebay for $1, a quarter for every patch after. lol

This place is in my backyard.............It's known to us as Seizure Village.

Tons of Medical calls there.

It seems that their red and blue light bar is a no-no

Wonder what they are going to do when you laugh at them and dont pull over?

Just drive off them grounds, and if they follow you, arrest them for illegally operating a vehicle with red and blue lights.

I thought Leisure Village incorporated as a city. Wouldn't it have its own PD or contract with OCSD?

Isn't that out in Ventura ?

Here's some photos I found online - http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=leis...12600343%40N08

And from one of the comments - "the only time I saw one outside the village it had it's lightbar completely covered."

So does that mean Ventura County Sheriffs don't have to respond when there's a 187? Sweet....

Yes....In Ventura County.....In the City of Camarillo. Which is a contract city of the Ventura County Sheriff's Dept...so they handle all the "police work" in there.

I was thinking of Leisure World.

Yup, also known affectionately as "Seizure World". They renamed it to Laguna Woods Village a few years ago.

They have their own private security patrol 24/7, but it is OCSD's turf.

If Leisure Village is in Camarillo, what was one of their cars doing in Seal Beach?

I'm sure there is more than one "Leisure Village"..........


Or maybe the "Officers" were in Seal Beach on a department related "Follow up" lol
