Attention OCSN Fans: We wanted to share an update on our page status as we tend to do quarterly with the fans. Ocean County Scanner News is still a volunteer-based news organization which relies on various information we hear across public airwaves- via radio scanners. Since we are not a professional corporation that answers to shareholders, we share scanner calls and various other information we believe the public & our audience would find interesting. Also, being volunteers- we do not maintain business hours, nor have the staff to respond timely to the influx of requests we have been getting. Therefore, when you contact us via our 24/7 tip line or email, we try to respond as best we can- please don’t take it personal.

Over the summer we announced our plans for Ocean County Scanner News 3.0, or a relaunch- which has been postponed for Winter 2022. We are happy to announce we have begun to onboard some new staff members- as part of our Phase 1. As you could expect- training our staff to the rigorous OCSN standards is no easy task. In the coming months we will be ready to introduce a few new additions to the OCSN family- to help us catch more news. Believe us when there has been NO shortage of newsworthy events, we just haven’t the staff to publish all the calls/stories.

We ask our loyal readers to have slight mercy on our new publishers as they learn the OCSN way of professional journalism. Do not hesitate to send us an email if you have a valid concern about a particular story. If you halfway make sense- we just may write you a reply. Finally, try to have patience as some of our new journalists begin to go live across our platforms.

Lastly, if anyone reading this wishes to donate their time to our news organization, please send an email to [email protected] for consideration. If you are familiar with WordPress & Police scanners, or scanner apps- we can definitely use your help! Our first training class is nearly full, but we can open a second if we get enough interested parties. While we are volunteers, our website does earn a small commission from advertising- which we share monthly among our active staff volunteers.

We also can use help in various other ways, and are always seeking people who wish to help out our cause. If you are interested in joining our organization, or learning more about us- please send us an email to: [email protected].

-Thanks, and see you soon!
