Mayor's Message
From The Freehold Township Mayor Regarding School Security
In an effort to clear up much of the misinformation on social media regarding School Security and the decisions being considered in that regard, I felt it necessary to explain the position on this subject that is currently being discussed with the Freehold Township Committee, The Freehold Township Board of Education, and The Freehold Regional High School District.
The safety of the children in Freehold Township is of primary importance to everyone, including the Freehold Township Committee. It has been circulated that the Township is unwilling to supply an officer in our schools, which is categorically false.
It is impossible to avoid the onslaught of social media posts regarding the public outcry for armed personnel in our schools, and as the Freehold Township Mayor, I have had discussions with the Freehold Township Board of Education and Superintendent of FRHSD regarding their ideas for school security, and what they are currently considering with regard to having Police Officers in the Freehold Township Schools.
The Freehold Township Board of Education (FTBOE) and the Township Committee are finalizing an approach for dispersal of armed officers in a fashion which will not adversely impact the educational atmosphere, while at the same time proactively protecting the students and teaching staff.
Freehold Township currently has had an armed Police Officer for many years in the FTBOE schools, whose schedule and location is dictated entirely by the Board of Education. The officer’s salary is paid for by the FTBOE and he is supplied, equipped and trained by the Township. If the FTBOE decides that they want to expand this program, Freehold Township would immediately begin the hiring process to find additional officer(s).
The same holds true for the FRHSD with regard to FT High School. We have a meeting scheduled with the FRHSD Superintendent next week in order to discuss security of the high school, and we stand ready to implement whatever plan the FRHSD has with the appropriate personnel.
In this interim period, school patrol saturation has been, and will continue to be, a top priority.
Mayor Anthony J. Ammiano

NJNG Meter Exchange Program
Now through Spring 2018, NJNG will be exchanging a number of natural gas meters in our community, as required by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities. Residents will be notified by phone and receive a letter if their meter is scheduled to be exchanged, as not all NJNG customers will have their meters exchanged. There is no cost to you for this service. NJNG has contracted with Precision Pipeline Solutions (PPS), a valued NJNG contractor, to perform this important safety work. Keep in mind, all PPS employees carry NJNG contractor photo IDs. Remember - always ask to see ID before letting anyone into your home.
Your natural gas service must be temporarily shut off to perform this planned work. Once your new meter has been installed, PPS will need access to your home or business to relight your appliances. If you are not present when the work is completed, a door hanger will be left with instructions and the phone number to call for a relight. Thank you for your patience and cooperation during this important safety work.
