Neighborhood Watch Organization in RMR

We are also seeking volunteers to be Block Captains for the River Mountain Ranch Neighborhood Watch Program. We still need a block captain for Mount View. 

The responsibilities of the block captains are:
• Be aware of any possible criminal activity or fire dangers on your block.
• Notify the police, EMS, or fire Department when necessary.
• Have a back up block captain for vacations, etc.
• Help to locate possible water sources, both current and future, on your block and help the Firewise committee determine who may be willing to allow the fire department to utilize their water source in the event of a catastrophe.
• Be aware of elderly or handicapped neighbors who might require additional assistance in the event of an emergency.

 All residents of RMR, especially the Block Captains, need to be aware of suspicious activity and act as the eyes an ears for our local law enforcement.  Other responsibilities for a Block Captain are to notify our neighbors of wildfire, or other emergency situations.  If you see something suspicious and feel it is an emergency, call 911.  Do not approach or try to apprehend them, PLEASE, for your own safety!   Contact your Block Captain so he/she may notify the other neighbors.  This is what is known as the telephone tree. Also, if you have a primary and secondary contact number or e-mail preference, contact your Block Captain or the Neighborhood Watch Coordinator for this update.
 
We have participated in the National Night Out event over the past two years which, in Texas, is conducted during the first week of October when it is cooler (Note: other states have it during August).  National Night Out is a time where we can visit with our neighbors, possibly have a cool beverage and pick up some educational information on home and neighborhood safety.  Photos from our two National Night Out events can be viewed by clicking on the links in the right side column on this page or on the Galleries page.

If you would be willing to be a block captain for your street or just want to become involved with the RMR Neighborhood Watch, please contact the RMR Neighborhood Watch, by email: firewise_data@rivermountainranch.org
