SECURITY CHECKS & QUICKPASS UPDATES

News Bulletin 2-18-2023

Home Security Checks

During a recent visit to the Orange County Sheriff’s Laguna Niguel Police Services Office, Officer M. Skoczulek explained that the Sheriff’s department offers a comprehensive Home Security Check service to citizens of Laguna Niguel. To schedule such service, citizens need to call the non-emergency Sheriff’s telephone number: (949) 770-9011 or (714) 647-7000. Individuals in Ocean Ranch have indicated that this Home Security Check service is very helpful and generated some very valuable recommendations.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Department also has an excellent website with many recommendations of which we should all be aware: Sheriff’s Recommendations

We should all be aware that home burglary crimes are continuing in Southern California and all Ocean Ranch residents should exercise care and caution in protecting their homes. We will continue to do what we can to make sure our Gate Attendants are following prescribed entrance protocols and admitting only authorized vendors and guests.

If you see something that seems suspicious, please IMMEDIATELY call 911.

Then call the Upper Gate and inform the Gate Attendant. But please be aware that the Ocean Ranch Patrol is very limited in response actions they can take. They will respond but cannot apprehend potential criminals and lawbreakers.

Update QuickPass Information

All Ocean Ranch owners/residents are being asked to update their information in the QuickPass system. This information is used by our gate attendants:

To admit residents who are not in their QuickPass registered vehicles.
When a resident is entering Ocean Ranch on foot or bicycle.
To admit permanent and temporary visitors.

Phone numbers are used by gate attendants to contact the resident if a visitor is not on the visitor’s list. (This is under review by the Safety & Access Control Committee. Some gated communities require the visitor to call the resident directly and request access.)

Please use the permanent visitor privilege sparingly. Many residents have a long list of permanent visitors, which subjects the community to unauthorized roaming visitors. Also, please be cautious about assigning temporary access to vendors. If the work duration is unknown, it is requested that you use a one time visitor pass for each day.

At the recent Board Meeting residents asked for a way to update vehicle information in the QuickPass system. Please use this link to the TRANSPONDER FORM. Print the form and when complete drop it off at one of the Gates. Your information will be updated by the Post Commander.
