Freehold: Sheriff Shaun Golden was pleased to welcome members of the Jewish Federation in the Heart of New Jersey to the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office, Public Safety Center on December 15, where the organization met to gather information and learn about active shooter response and faith based security strategy
“I’m proud to have hosted this event for our partners of the Jewish community,” said Sheriff Shaun Golden. “It’s vital that all of our residents be aware of contemporary situations involving harmful activities by individuals or groups that may target segments of our population.
