I think Highland City should have its own police department. I have started a petition online, and would like to go door to door to get signatures. The Polk County Sheriffs Office has done a "good" job, I will admit it, BUT there is still crime in and around Highland City they do not know about because they are spread thin, usually running call to call in other areas. Ever call them for something and have to wait 30-90 minutes for a deputy?

I have removed (and reverted to a previous version) the introduction which implies many of the "new" subdivisions have ncreased the population of Highland City. I believe most of the growth has been in the Census Designated Lakeland Highlands, not Highland City. Although I do admit there is dispute as to where Highland City begins and where Lakeland Highlands begins, I think the Census Designated areas' boundaries is at Stokes Road, with the roads which run diagonal to the "four directions" being "Highland city", while those where the grid changes to north/south, east/west directions is considered "Lakeland Highlands".
