Zero high visibility County wide enforcement detail is scheduled for Thursday May 30th 2024 from 3pm-7pm.

Shore roadways will be the focus of the detail which will include the following:

Hwy 33- Freehold Boro, Freehold Twp, Howell, Manalapan
Hwy 34- Aberdeen, Holmdel, Matawan
Hwy 35- Neptune City, Shrewsbury
Hwy 36- Atlantic Highlands, Eatontown, Hazlet, Highlands, Keansburg, Keyport, Long Branch, Middletown, Monmouth Beach, Sea Bright, Union Beach, West Long Branch

The intent of this high visibility campaign is to confront the staggering rise in traffic deaths NJ has seen. Traffic Safety culture and driving behaviors need to change in order to keep people alive on NJ roadways. Law Enforcement agencies in Monmouth County are dedicated to lowering these numbers and keeping our roadways safe.

As of today, NJ is up to 220 deaths in 2024. That’s a 20.9% increase over the same time frame last year. 22 of these deaths have occurred in Monmouth County. This increase shows the need for not only this detail, but future details as well.

On 4/25/24, Monmouth County agencies from 32 towns participated which covered Route 9 and other areas of Monmouth County. For this detail 66 Officers participated resulting in 3 arrests (2 warrant arrests-1 hindering/contempt), 510 traffic stops, 345 summonses issued which included, 27 speeding, 2 child restraints, 11 seatbelt, 10 DWS, 34 cell phone, 1 reckless, 24 careless, 4 uninsured, 233 other miscellaneous moving and non-moving violations.

This July 4th, as we celebrate America’s independence, the Atlantic Highlands Police Department and the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) want to remind drivers that Buzzed Driving Is Drunk Driving. Unfortunately, too many people think that driving after a few drinks is acceptable. The numbers say otherwise: In 2020, more than 200 people were killed in alcohol-impaired-driving crashes over the 4th of July holiday period. That’s over 200 people who could have made it home if everyone had planned ahead for a sober ride. If you celebrate Independence Day with alcohol and decide to get behind the wheel of a vehicle, you aren’t just putting yourself in danger; you put everyone on the road at risk. Plan ahead for a safe and sober ride every time you drink. Stay safe for the people in your life — loved ones, parents or children, your buddies. Drive sober to protect them and to protect yourself.
