Sex Offender Watch System

Registered Sex Offender Watch System

In order to maintain awareness of sex offenders living in your neighborhood, we have added a Sex Offender Registry to our website. The registry will allow you to enter any local address. It will then provide a list of all registered sex offenders living within a one-mile radius within the boundaries of the City of Mesquite. If you are looking for information about a particular sex offender, registered in the City of Mesquite, the registry can help there as well.

Only 33% of the registered sex offenders in this data base are available for viewing by the public. Nevada Revised Statues state that only information on Tier III and Tier II sex offenders can be made available at this time.

We encourage you to take advantage of the free email notification. When a sex offender registers with the Mesquite Police Department you will be alerted if the offender’s address is:

1. In the City of Mesquite, and

2. Within one mile of the address you have entered on your subscription.

If you are looking for information about a sex offender outside the City of Mesquite but within Clark County, you can click on the link taking you to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's watch system.

The Desert Tortoise

Like many desert creatures, desert tortoises spend most of their lives "holed up." In spring and summer, they roam grazing on grasses and wildflowers, then head for their burrows when it gets too hot. In fall and winter, when it is cold and there is not much to eat, they stay burrowed in for six months or more at a time.

If you see a desert tortoise, you are seeing an endangered species. Please watch out for them on the roads. Tortoises live in washes and valleys where the soil is soft enough for them to burrow into, yet stable enough so they do not collapse. Remember, desert tortoises are protected under the Endangered Species Act and may not be handled or removed.

Golf in the Desert

The city of Mesquite combines calm, small-town flavour with big-city attractions and championship golf. The Palms and the Oasis Golf Clubs are only two of the half-dozen challenging courses in the area.

The Speedy RoadRunner

Called paisano in Mexico, the roadrunner is a well-known desert resident that only superficially resembles its popular cartoon portrayal. The greater roadrunner has adapted to life on the run. Though it can fly well, it prefers to use its strong legs and X- shaped toes to run rapidly over the desert landscape. Active predators, roadrunners aggressively chase insects, lizards, snakes, small birds and mammals.

Tolerant of humans, they sometimes nest in protected eaves and garages when they are not building large stick nests in desert trees. Their vocalizations include bill clicking noises and a mournful cooing made during breeding seasons. They do not meep-meep.
