Thank you to all law enforcement and first responders that responded to Long Branch’s call for mutual aid in reference to Saturday night’s large scale event which drew crowds of people to the area and unfortunately turned unruly as several fights broke out. This prompted a major police presence from state, county and local first responders to maintain public safety as they assisted with a subsequently imposed curfew by Long Branch City Officials.

Sheriff Goldman commended all law enforcement agencies who responded to the incident in the most professional manner including our sheriff’s officers, correctional police officers, public safety telecommunications and the Monmouth Sheriff’s office EMS task force. The safety and security of our residents and tourists is of the utmost concern as we enter the summer season at the Jersey Shore.
