Timberlake Ranch Neighborhood Watch
(Posted 6-22-11) Timberlake Ranch neighbors help neighbors by being on the alert for suspicious activity. Instead of driving straight home, take a few extra minutes to drive a different way and check out your neighbors' sheds, houses, etc. - at least until the snow prevents us from doing so. If you don't have a neighbor that checks on your house while you're gone and can't find anyone, please let Mary Jo Wallen and she will try to arrange some help for you. Remember, don't confront anyone suspicious by yourself. Call either 911, or the McKinley Cty Sheriff's # is 505-722-7205 and the Cibola County Sheriff's # is 505-287-9476. Mary Jo Wallen 783-4207

Letter from Sheriff
(Posted 11-1-07) The Cibola County Sheriff's Dept. has asked for our help in placing rural address numbers on our driveways, and street signs in our area. Understanding what they need will greatly help response time, and help keep crime down. Get more details: read the entire letter here.

http://www.13districtcourt.com/index.htm The 13th Judicial District Court has provided a new and incredibly useful resource for landowners who live in Cibola County. Legal forms, court programs, and frequently asked questions, are just a part of what is available. Legal form packets available on line include divorce with children and without, driver's license restoration, name change and sealing juvenile records. Also useful for local full-time residents is a link to jury duty that lets you know whether or not you are being called.

Supreme Court Law library Is a very "user friendly" site that gives you access to the New Mexico Supreme Court Library. It is very easy to look up New Mexico State Statutes, Case Law, and other court links.

Rural addresses crucial
(Posted 1-3-05)- Recently a call was made from a resident of Timberlake Ranch to the 911 emergency number. The arrival of the Sheriff's Deputy was delayed somewhat due to the fact that there was no official physical address posted at the property. Many landowners have not taken the necessary steps to obtain these very important addresses. More information here.

Emergency 911 databases
(Posted 1-3-05)-There have been many instances across the country of physical addresses not matching up with the telephone number associated with that address in the 911 emergency databases. If you have such a mismatch it can be disastrous, even life-threatening. Find out how to check for your property.
