Wednesday July 17, 2019 will mark Ocean County Scanner News’ SIXTH Anniversary! Yup, we have been here for six years now delivering the best in breaking news and comments for the internet and Facebook.

It all began on July 17, 2013 with an idea from Dave (Staff 01). He figured that listening to the scanners as a hobby could be used to provide better local news than what was offered to Ocean County. We don’t have any local TV stations that cover Ocean and Monmouth Counties, so we are stuck with a few local papers and radio. We all know the APP is bird cage liner, and the rest of the independents are doing a better job.

The page was born as “Lansing News Network” or LNN with a CNN ripoff logo as a joke. As the page grew in popularity, it was renamed to better serve our target audience. Over the years we have tried to keep close to our roots of truthful local news coverage with a solid hint of comedy. If you get offended or don’t know how to laugh; this page likely isn’t for you.

Anyway, THANK YOU for the almost 30,000 fans who depend on OCSN to bring them all the news that matters. This website would cease to exist without the support of the public and other vested officials who assist. We have a long road ahead of us as Sheriff Mastronardy likely will decide to encrypt most communications on the new County 700 MHz system. However, I hope to count on all our fans to try to sway his opinion to see how useful and valuable this page is to the community.

Thank you Everyone- and stay tuned for more information how we plan to celebrate our birthday! Also, thank you to my staff of over a dozen volunteers and countless freelancers who assist in the page’s mission. I appreciate ALL of my staff, and all the fans who send in pictures and tips to the hotline. 304-506-OCSN!
