Welcome to the Solera at Stallion Mountain Neighborhood Watch Program

Who are we?

The Neighborhood Watch (NW) program is part of a national organization. At Solera, NW is independent and is not a club or committee. By way of explanation, there are legal and Insurance HOA issues being part of a national organization, so we cannot be directly associated with the HOA.

Occasionally, we hear of break-ins but according to the Las Vegas Metro Police on Harmon, we live in one of the safest communities in Las Vegas. We are residents who help each other by reporting suspicious and/or illegal activities to the police. Every person is expected to know how to do this. We all live here and don’t “join.” As a neighbor and resident, you just “are.”

Our motto is “Neighbors helping Neighbors.” One of the ways we help is by gathering and sharing information on safety issues and tips on how to remain safe. We have an informal relationship with the Metro Las Vegas Police Department. We also gather and share common sense safety tips from different sources, including Solera residents. We encourage you and your neighbors to share real world advice. We also share information on situations when we acquire credible information regarding incidents and alerts in the neighborhood. This information may come from our block captains, published Police Reports or directly from residents. Sharing this information may help residents in minimizing risk going forward.

How does NW Work?

Our Neighborhood Watch is served by an overall Coordinator and a Block Captain for each of our 29 streets, although we are missing a few currently, and are actively seeking them. Block Captains do not need to live on the street they serve, although it is preferable. Some serving now, work more than one street. Lynne Ebenkamp is the new Neighborhood Watch Coordinator.

We believe that police and community working together can make a difference, and we welcome your involvement and participation focused on preventing crime in a respectful manner, demonstrating that everyone matters. We recognize that crime prevention can only be realized with the involvement of informed citizens. Because crime is low here at Solera, Block Captain work is not busy on a regular basis. Make sure you meet your Block Captain listed below for your street. If your street has none, please help us find someone or volunteer.

How Can You Help?

Become a Block Captain on a street without one.
Learn about safety in your home.
Ask police to do a safety check for your home.
Keep your eyes and ears open and report suspicious activity even if you are not a Block Captain. Tell your Block Captain about it with details.
Be proactive in crime prevention.
Attend safety and other meetings to improve communication about safety.
Believe that police and community working together can make a difference, and become involved and participate.
Focus on preventing crime in a respectful manner, demonstrating that everyone matters.
Recognize that crime prevention can only be realized with the involvement of us as informed citizens in our neighborhood.
Remember: citizens should never intervene on the illegal issues they observe or come across. Trained law enforcement should be the ones to act.
A citizen is the eyes and ears; law enforcement is hands and feet.
