Monmouth County Commissioners highlight the Borough of Monmouth Beach Shared Services
Mayor recognizes exceptional service through PSAP agreement

FREEHOLD, NJ – As part of their series on successful shared services partnerships, the Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners would like to showcase the Shared Services agreements between Monmouth County and the Borough of Monmouth Beach.

Monmouth Beach joined a Public Safety Answering Point Agreement in 2009 with the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO), Communications Division. Through this, the Monmouth County 911 Communications Center can distribute all calls to municipalities by call relay, transfer, or direct emergency dispatch.

"Under the leadership of Sheriff Shaun Golden, the MCSO continues to set the standard in emergency response,” said Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone, liaison to the Office of Shared Services. “Shared service agreements, such as the Public Safety Answering Point Agreement, that the Borough of Monmouth Beach has with the County provide high quality emergency services while maintaining a cost-effective and sustainable approach.”

"The Borough of Monmouth Beach has been partnering with Sheriff Office’s dispatch center for decades. It has been a great asset to our small community by providing rapid dispatch for all police, fire and EMS emergencies. Our police department relies heavily on the service and it bolsters our officers with 24 hour a day assistance from professionally trained radio dispatchers. We could not provide any of these services as effectively or efficiently on our own and it is a comfort to know that these technical operations are there at a moment’s notice,” said Tim Somers, Mayor of Monmouth Beach.

“Our partnership through the Public Safety Answering Point Agreement ensures that emergency calls and dispatch services are handled promptly and effectively. The Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office Communications Division has had a great working relationship with Monmouth Beach for many years and is proud to continue to provide the Borough with professional, reliable, and coordinated emergency response services,” said Sheriff Shaun Golden.

Monmouth Beach also holds other Shared Services Agreements with Monmouth County such as the Municipal Assistance, Commodity Resale, Open Public Records Search System (OPRS), Tax Board MOD IV, Community Rating System Agreement and the Shrewsbury River Automated Flood Warning.

The Monmouth County Office of Shared Services facilitates partnerships with local government entities through which the County provides services, equipment and resources to a local government which helps to reduce costs and increase efficiencies.
