On November 2, 2022 at 3:39pm, Ship Bottom Police Department was dispatched to a swimmer in distress at the Ship Bottom Boat Ramp. Upon officer’s arrival, it was determined one adult male victim had tipped his kayak in the Barnegat Bay and was struggling to stay afloat and return to shore. At this time, another adult male entered the water in an attempt to assist his safe return to shore. Both victims began to struggle returning to shore. Seeing this, Officer Rossi entered the water with a life saving device and assisted the males with returning to shore where they were treated by members of the Beach Haven First Aid Squad. Without Officer Rossi’s quick thinking, this scary situation could have ended much worse. Great job Officer Rossi!
