Volume 1, Issue 7
Mission, Vision, Values
Mission
Our mission is to serve all
civil and court documents
with the utmost
professionalism and
integrity. We also strive to
build coalitions with
neighborhoods and
collaborate on safer
communities, which uphold
and enhance our high quality
of life in Southwest Travis
County.
Message from Sally
If you have been reading past newsletters
from this office, I have spoken of our Child
ID program and the Senior Fraud
Prevention and Neighborhood Watch
initiatives. In short, I want you to know that
I have instituted a new focus of our office’s
community service– Crime Prevention.
Vision
The Child ID program has been around for
a few years, and it’s main emphasis was
fingerprinting your child(-ren) in case
something happens. We still offer this
service, but now, we have added another
layer– prevention tips from the National
Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
We envision a true
partnership with the
community that respects the
diverse nature of our
residents. Pro-actively
seeking truthful and open
two-way communication will
be the start of our
collaboration and continue
throughout our relationship.
Values
Our core beliefs of honesty,
fairness, and respect ensure
that we are committed to
the highest performance
standards, ethical conduct,
and compassion in all
relationships with the Public.
In this issue:
Prevention is a highly cost-effective
alternative to the costs of crime to
Constable Sally Hernandez
individuals, neighborhoods, and
communities. This is the reason why this office is starting a Senior Fraud
Prevention Program (hopefully starting in November!) and expanding
Neighborhood Watch Programs across Precinct 3 (starting in September).
August begins another school year. Good luck to all students and teachers!
Remember, it is unlawful to use your mobile phone in a school zone.

YOUR LIVING IS DETERMINED
NOT SO MUCH BY WHAT LIFE
BRINGS TO YOU AS BY THE
ATTITUDE YOU BRING TO
LIFE; NOT SO MUCH BY WHAT
HAPPENS TO YOU AS BY THE
WAY YOUR MIND LOOKS AT
WHAT HAPPENS.

I was a preschool teacher for about 12 years working mainly with 4
and 5 year olds, an aide to Congressman Doggett, a Regional Field
Organizer for the Human Rights Campaign, Assistant Director of the
Travis County Democratic Party, and Chief of Staff for former Travis
County Commissioner Karen Huber. Other than working for Sally, I
am a candidate for Travis County Commissioner Precinct 2.
I really enjoy watching sports, especially during football season (I am
a HUGE New Orleans Saints fan– Who Dat!), and Olympic sports,
having been to 3 Summer Olympics– Atlanta, Beijing, and London.
I’m into all things Longhorn and celebrated the Longhorn Volleyball
team’s national championship last season.
My mom, sister, and 5 year old nephew (who started Kindergarten
this week!) live in McAllen, Texas. I live in West Austin with my
Chihuahua pal, Sandy.

Vehicle Identification Number
(VINE) Etching Program.
Austin Police Department:
8656 Hwy. 71
Provides free permanent etching of
the Vehicle Identification Number
on the windows of vehicles. If the
vehicle is stolen, the windows will
need to be replaced before it can
be sold. Because VIN etching is a
permanent theft deterrent device,
many insurance companies will give
a discount to car owners who use
this program. Open the public!
