Ocean Academy congratulates Lakewood Chief of Police Gregory H. Meyer as he marks over 40 years in law enforcement while serving 10 years as Chief of Police of Lakewood! We sincerely appreciate the strong partnership between Ocean Academy and the Lakewood Police Department. This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to creating a safe, supportive, and positive learning environment where every student can thrive. The dedication, professionalism, and service demonstrated by our School Resource Officers helps to build trust, strengthen community relationships, and provide students with positive role models. We are grateful for the Lakewood Police Department's continued support and look forward to working together for the betterment of all our students.

10 Years as Chief of Police!

Today, the Lakewood Police Department recognizes Chief Gregory H. Meyer as he marks over 40 years in law enforcement while serving 10 years as Chief of Police, a position he assumed on August 1, 2016.

During his tenure as Chief, the Department has continued to grow to meet the needs of our community. More than 40 police officers have joined our ranks, making the Lakewood Police Department the largest and most diverse police department in Ocean County.

The Department has also reestablished its K-9 Unit, which now consists of five K-9 teams, launched the Drone as First Responder (DFR) Program, and is working toward the implementation of a Real Time Crime Center.

Over forty years of service is an accomplishment few reach, and ten years leading one of New Jersey's busiest police departments is a milestone worth recognizing. We thank Chief Meyer for his leadership, his commitment to this Department, and his dedication to the residents of Lakewood.

Please join us in congratulating Chief Gregory H. Meyer on these remarkable milestones.

Congratulations, Chief!

Thank You Lakewood Fire Department! https://www.facebook.com/LakewoodfireNJ Today, Ocean Academy's Safety Team Staff Members attended the free community Fire Expo event that featured live fire safety demonstrations, emergency vehicles, interactive activities, giveaways, and hands-on experiences designed to educate the public about fire safety and emergency response. We got to meet firefighters, explore emergency equipment, and learn more about the work of the fire department in a fun, interactive setting. We spent the afternoon talking to many members of the LFD, EMS, and other members of the community. We think our visit was a positive for our school and we learned quite a bit!
