County Commissioners highlight Little Silver shared services success stories
Borough has received services since 1998

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 Little Silver.

The Borough of Little Silver has been utilizing shared services agreements since 1998 and has had a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) Agreement since 2014. Under the leadership of Monmouth County Sheriff, Shaun Golden, the Monmouth County 911 Communications Center distributes all emergency calls to the municipality.

“Our partnership through the Public Safety Answering Point Agreement ensures that emergency calls are handled promptly and effectively. The Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office Communications Division is proud to support Little Silver with state-of-the-art technology and professional 9-1-1 services,” said Sheriff Shaun Golden.

Another Shared Service Monmouth County provides for Little Silver is the Shrewsbury River Flood Warning System. This program, administered through the Monmouth County Office of Emergency Management, allows municipalities to have a better knowledge of potential flooding risks.

“The Shrewsbury River Flood Warning System delivers advanced notice of changes in water levels and provides awareness of conditions that can lead to potential flooding,” said Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone, liaison to the Monmouth County Office of Shared Services. “By utilizing this system Little Silver is able to develop an action plan quickly if an emergency arises due to flooding.”

“Little Silver has had a long, beneficial partnership with Monmouth County in so many ways, for which we’re very grateful. Importantly, the County Office of Shared Services programs help keep us safe, like the backup dispatch service, and the Shrewsbury River flood alert system. Both are indispensable to the safety of our residents in an emergency, as I remember well from Superstorm Sandy and other severe storms,” said Robert Neff, Mayor of Little Silver.

“The Shared Services team and I are always available to help municipal officials get started or to answer any questions they may have, so contact us by calling 732-431-7460 or emailing us at sharedservices@co.monmouth.nj.us,” said Director Arnone. “We look forward to working with all our partners to make Monmouth County the best place to live.”

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.
