Just a reminder how our page works for the newcomers and others who think we spew fake news. Someone, known as a Reporting Party (RP), calls 911 or an emergency service requesting service. Dispatch takes the information as best they can from the callers, and puts it out over the air on radios. We hear the communications over the radio and post what we hear.

We don’t have the manpower to respond to every scene, nor do we call the departments for follow ups. During a big event, we will make every attempt possible to get a resolution or disposition. Routine calls we usually post and aren’t able to get a disposition.

We are a scanner news page; we never claimed to be the New York Times here. We serve Ocean County with a general sense of events that transpire in a given day based off radio traffic. Also keep in mind that too many departments in Ocean County encrypt, or scramble their signals. This means we usually cannot get information for most towns.

We thank the community for their support over the 6+ years we’ve been doing it. We all are volunteers that try our best to keep the public informed with limited resources. As always, feel free to message the page with any and all concerns and questions!
