SHERIFF URGING STATE AND FEDERAL OFFICIALS TO TAKE PROMPT ACTION IS ADDRESSING RECENT DRONE SIGHTING
Monmouth County: As reported sightings of drones continue throughout Monmouth County, Sheriff Shaun Golden is asking federal and state officials to collaborate in identifying the source of activity reported across the region. The Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office and partners in law enforcement are actively monitoring the situation which doesn’t appear to be a threat to public safety. However, additional tools are needed at the state level to identify the source, as well as more transparency federally, regarding drone operations over critical infrastructure and sensitive areas.
“We are aware of the unease these drone sightings have caused in our communities,” said Sheriff Shaun Golden. “The safety and security of our residents are our top priorities. We urge state and federal authorities to work together in locating the source of these drones and determining their intent. It is essential that we address these incidents swiftly to prevent any concerns or disruptions.”
The Sheriff’s Office is actively monitoring the situation. Anyone with relevant information is asked to call the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324) or submit it online at tips.fbi.gov.
