EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM

CodeRED

Seconds Count In An Emergency!

The Borough of Monmouth Beach has instituted the CodeRED Emergency Notification System - an ultra high-speed telephone communication service for emergency notifications. This system allows us to telephone all or targeted areas of the town in case of an emergency situation that requires immediate action (such as a boil-water notice, missing child or evacuation notices).

The system is capable of dialing 50,000 phone numbers per hour. It then delivers our recorded message to a live person or an answering machine, making three attempts to connect to any number.

Monmouth Beach Police Chief Richard White requests that all resident enter their information and provide an alternate telephone number to be reached in the event of an emergency.

THIS SYSTEM WILL ONLY BE USED FOR EMERGENCY PURPOSES.

Examples of times when the CodeRED system could be utilized:

• Drinking water contamination
• Utility outage
• Evacuation notice & route
• Missing person
• Fires or Floods
• Bomb threat
• Hostage situation
• Chemical spill or Gas leak

  Child Safety Seat Installation

Not sure what size safety seat your child belongs in or your child's safety seat is installed correctly?  Chief Richard White of the Monmouth Beach Police Department would like to invite all Monmouth Beach residents to have their child's safety seat inspected and properly installed .  A recent study has shown that over 80% of all child safety seats are misused and that proper use of a child safety seat reduces an infant's death rate by 71% in crash.  Traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for children from ages 4 to adults age 34.  It is New Jersey law that all children must be properly restrained in an appropriate child safety seat or child booster until age 8 or eighty pounds.  If you would like to  invest a few moments in your child's safety please contact Patrolman Jeffery Godwin at the Monmouth Beach Police Dept. (732-229-1313) to schedule a free inspection and installation of your child or grandchild's safety seat. 

The Monmouth Beach Police Dept. is now participating in Project ChildSafe. Anyone who would like free gun locks for their firearms can pick them up at Monmouth Beach Police Headquarters.

Since 2003, the nationwide distribution of safety kits that includes a cable-style gun locking device and safety education materials, has reminded gun owners to properly store firearms in the home in order to prevent a loaded firearm from falling into the hands of a child, thereby preventing tragic accidents.

Project ChildSafe partners with governors, lieutenant governors, U.S. Attorneys, mayors and local law enforcement agencies. The program continues through 2006 to distribute millions more free safety kits at major public events such as state fairs, sportsmen's festivals and community safety days.
