Mission Statement: The Munds Park Neighborhood Watch program will provide the community with two benefits: first, the usual crime deterrents associated with vigilance and postings and the 'people helping people' attributes; second, the establishment of a structure to enable all property owners to be contacted, or to access information, regarding emergencies.
Website: none
Membership: Open to all property owners in the Munds Park/Pinewood community; those who are registered with their contact information can be alerted to emergency situations.
Funding: No dues or fees; expenses are covered by the Coconino County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) and the Pinewood Property Owners Association (PPOA). Donations may be sent to the PPOA requesting that they be used for this program.
Meetings: Quarterly meetings January, April, July, and October are held on the 3rd Wednesday of the month from 6:30pm to 8:30pm at the Pinewood Fire Station. Potlucks are scheduled at these meetings; representatives from the CCSO, Community Development, Public Works, and the Pinewood Fire Department are usually present.
Unit Coordinators and Captains information available on request.
The MPNW program is a function of the CCSO, Community Programs Planning Department. The community coordinator reports directly to that office and all information contained in the data base is the property of the CCSO.
The structure of the organization is based on the 20 units within Munds Park/Pinewood. Each unit has a coordinator who has two to seven captains; each captain has an average of 30 homes in their area to communicate with in the event of an emergency. Most are full time residents who are able to observe the activity in their area throughout the year.
The biggest benefit of the program is for every resident, whether here in the park full time, summer, or weekends, to always be alert for activity that is not normal or people who do not seem to belong to our community. Contact the coordinator or call the CCSO non-emergency number, (928) 774-4523, to report these activities. Any crime in progress or a fire anywhere inside or outside of the park should be reported to the 911 system for immediate attention.
Stay up on the latest activities by reading the Pinewood News; there is an article on MPNW every issue and there is usually infomation on the other organizations as well.
