Our Neighborhood Watch Committee

A definition of Neighborhood Watch is being aware of what is going on in your neighborhood, especially at
or nearest your own home. Know your neighbors and be watchful for anything that may seem out of the ordinary.
Report out of the ordinary things by calling either 911 if you deem it to be an emergency or by calling the sheriff's
office non-emergency number at 867-4581. No neighborhood is completely safe from emergencies or intruders and it is
each of our responsibilities to keep our neighborhood safe.
Neighborhood Watch stands for a heightened level of
security awareness. In addition to individual homeowners being vigilant, a formal Neighborhood Watch committee has been
in place for the past several years in Sundance Mesa. The committee is made up of a group of our homeowners whose role
is to:
> Liaise with the Sandoval County Sheriff's department Watch Program > Keep appraised of
matters important to our community and neighborhood > Communicate important information to the residents of Sundance
Mesa via email
In order to expand the 'reach' of our local Neighborhood Watch committee, this web page
has been developed. Here you'll find information posted on current safety and security issues that impact Sundance
Mesa. Additionally, General Safety Tips will be posted and updated on a regular basis.
If you have safety
information to pass along to the Neighborhood watch, please email them at NeighborhoodWatch@sundancemesa.com. If you are a homeowner and wish to contact a member of the Neighborhood Watch Committee, please consult page
2 of your 2010 owner directory.
NEW! AAA Tips for deterring summer break-ins.
Some Tips for Safety in Your Vehicle:
1. Always lock your car and take
the keys, even if you'll be gone only a short time. 2. Lock doors while driving. 3. Keep your car
in good running condition and keep the gas tank at least one-quarter full. 4. If your car breaks down, raise the
hood and place emergency reflectors or flares. Then stay in the locked car. When someone stops to help, don't
get out. Ask him or her, through a closed or cracked window, to telephone police to come and help. 5. Never
pick up hitchhikers. 6. Leave only your ignition key with a parking attendant. Don't leave your house key,
garage door opener, or other important items in your car. 7. Keep your car's Vehicle Identification Number
(VIN) and a complete vehicle description in a safe place at home. Since 1969, the federal government has required manufacturers
to engrave a unique number, the VIN, on all passenger cars in one visible and several hidden locations. One VIN is engraved
on a metal plate on the dashboard near the windshield. VIN's of stolen cars are registered with the FBI's National
Crime Information Center.
