The Mesquite Code Ambassadors program is a volunteer-based program created to assist code enforcement officers with specific code violations. The program enlists the help of citizen volunteers called "Mesquite Code Ambassadors" to identify code violations throughout the community. The next Code Ambassador Program Orientation will be held on January 31 at 6:30 p.m. Classes will follow, beginning Feb. 21, at 6:30 p.m. The orientation and all classes will be held in the Mesquite Arts Center Rehearsal Hall, 1527 N. Galloway Avenue.
Volunteers must undergo background checks and commit to six hours per month of volunteer time before participating in the program. Multiple training classes and mandatory ride-outs with code enforcement officer are also required. Once trained, Code Ambassadors survey assigned neighborhoods in City-provided vehicles for code violations viewable from the right-of-way. Volunteers are not authorized to survey neighborhoods where they reside.
