Jackson: On Friday October 23rd and Saturday October 24th, Jackson Police Officers took part in details along the Rt. 537 (Monmouth Road) corridor and parking lot of Six Flags Great Adventure in an effort to encourage safe driving on the roadway and to deter illegal activity at the park.
On Friday evening, officers working the detail conducted 66 motor vehicle stops and issued 15 motor vehicle summonses for various violations. Four suspicious vehicles were checked and 7 suspects were arrested for possession of a controlled dangerous substance and 1 subject was arrested for an outstanding warrant.
On Saturday evening, officers working the detail conducted 21 motor vehicle stops and issued 12 motor vehicle summonses for various violations. Two suspicious vehicles were checked and 7 suspects were arrested for possession of a controlled dangerous substance.
The Saturday arrests also included 3 New York residents who were found with several ounces of marijuana which was individually packaged for sale and cash in excess of $5,000.00. The 2017 Honda which they were operating was seized for pending forfeiture and the three were charged with possession of CDS, possession of CDS with the intent to distribute and possession of drug paraphernalia. They were processed and released on summons complaints pending a court appearance.
Jackson officers were assisted by the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department K-9 officers. The New Jersey State Police and Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office also had personnel assigned to the park during the weekend.
JPD officers will continue to partner with other law enforcement agencies in the county and Six Flags Great Adventure security for future events to provide a safe atmosphere for visitors to enjoy their time visiting the township and the park.

Good Job
Lol go look for real criminals weed is gonna be legal soon anyway and u waste time on that garbage
Pete Zito well I’m sure they didn’t specifically seek pot heads,I’m sure they did something stupid which in turn got them pulled over. Which probably put the reasonable suspicion into play. I agree with the Marijuana being legal, but when you have this much on you you’re a dealer..and I’m sure they don’t deal exclusively in pot. They can be happy that after its legalized the charges will be reduced greatly.
Mike Josephson no the charges will stay. No retro.
Freddy Pantso well with the amount they had honestly it shouldn’t be reduced.
Pete Zito thats a big interchange coming from Trenton with heroin
Took em long enough. Till it’s officially legal. Doesn’t mean some clown can smoke it in the park or sell it in the lot
With Lakewood around the corner they should be able to make some money.
Paul Cobra YOUR DON’T KNOW WTH YOUR TALKING ABOUT
???????? Good job JPD come into our town and act the fool, break the law, pay the piper????
Why does every post on these pages have to have one person who has to drag Lakewood into every conversation? Like seriously we get it..you don’t like Lakewood.
Im tired of smelling this crap through the entire park !!
Kelly Renee Costa it’s all u smell!! I dont care but when I’m walking around with my kids it bothers me.
Jennifer Provost I just can not stand the smell period.. even cigarette smoke… I get nauseous
You’d think they would have someone there every weekend. Instead they do a blitz and crack down on something that’s likely to be legalized anyway.
Billie Morgan They get paid a lot and need to justify their jobs
Freddy Pantso after paying their insurance and paying into their own pension they really don’t make that much. Certainly not for the dangerous job they are doing.
Don’t they know the park doesn’t take cash anymore
That place is a hoodrat magnet
