Happy National Dog Day to some of our hardest-working team members!

Training never stops for the K9 Unit. Whether it’s on the boardwalk, out on the water, or working through drills back at the office, our K9 teams put in the work every single day — that kind of preparation is what keeps our dogs, and our deputies, ready for anything.

Today, we’re celebrating these dogs and everything they do for Ocean County Sheriff’s Office.

Ocean County Sheriff’s Officers took part in the Beach Haven Youth Police Academy this week, giving cadets a hands-on look at two very different sides of the job.

Officer Juan from our Mounted Unit brought along his four-legged partner, Sangria, giving cadets an up-close look at mounted patrol work. Officer Baker from Community Policing joined in as well, sharing insight into building relationships and trust between law enforcement and the community.

Ocean County Sheriff's Office is tracking a Flash Flooding Threat for our area, in effect now through 2 AM Friday. Rainfall rates of 2-3+ inches per hour are possible, with scattered to numerous flash floods expected in urban and poor drainage areas, as well as creeks and streams.

Do not drive through flooded roadways. It only takes a small amount of moving water to sweep a vehicle off the road, and flooded roads can hide washed-out pavement underneath. Turn around, don't drown.

Please plan ahead for the possibility of power outages. Keep your cell phone charged, and have flashlights, batteries, and any essential supplies ready in case the power goes out.

If you see a downed power line or a flooded roadway, avoid the area and report it right away. In a life-threatening emergency, always call 911.

Sheriff Mastronardy and Ocean County Sheriff's Officers urge everyone to stay alert and stay safe as this weather moves through the area.
