In 2021, Security Department traffic specialists caught more than 500 drivers (of all vehicles, including golf carts) running stop signs in the Village. Rolling stops, also known infamously as “California stops,” are not permitted—and are downright dangerous to pedestrians and other drivers.

Please, help us keep your neighbors and your community safe by making full and complete stops at all Village stop signs.

Ready for the feel-good story of the week? The Equestrian Center just welcomed a rescued 12-year-old registered American miniature horse named Sebastian, or Sebby for short—and short, special and oh so sweet he is!

Right now, shy little Sebby is becoming used to his surroundings and bonding with Equestrian Center Supervisor Laura Cobarruviaz and Stable Assistant Hailey Yocham. Once he is more confident and comfortable in his cozy digs, Laura and Hailey will work with him to become an equine outreach and education ambassador. According to Equestrian Center staff, he is becoming more relaxed and social by the day.

Tour the Equestrian Center

Residents can visit Sebby and many other wonderful horses, and check out the stables, during an Equestrian Center tour.

To join a tour at the Equestrian Center, arrive at one of three scheduled tour times and sign in, and Equestrian Center staff will greet and prepare you for a fun and informative tour. No reservations are necessary, but close-toed shoes are required to interact with any horse. Every tour features a photo opportunity with a GRF-owned horse at the conclusion of the event.

Tour schedule:

• Wednesday and Thursday: 2 p.m.
• Friday, Saturday and Sunday: 12:30 and 2 p.m.

The Equestrian Center is located at 24312 El Toro Road.

Como parte del Permiso de Uso Condicional 1135 con la Ciudad de Laguna Woods, las mutuas Third y United están reemplazando el alambre de púas en todos los muros perimetrales de bloques con cercas tipo cayado de pastor en un enfoque gradual.

The Security Services Department is responsible for the administration and operation of the Village’s 24-hour/7-day-a-week security. This includes, but is not limited to courteous and diligent gate ambassadors attending to our access gates, 24-hour dispatch attending to community service requests and 24-hour patrols by marked security vehicles.

As part of its routine tasking, Security staff also performs daily perimeter checks—specifically focusing on potential breaches. The staff checks the perimeter on foot in areas that are not as accessible. Once staff members identify a breach, they place yellow tape around the area and complete a service request to rectify the issue. The yellow tape helps staff repairing the breach easily locate the trouble point.

If you see something, say something! Report fencing breaches during business hours to Resident Services at 949-597-4600 or Security Dispatch at 949-580-1400; call Security Dispatch after regular business hours.
