FREEHOLD – “Monmouth In Focus,” the county’s monthly televised program, is hitting the airwaves this August with an overview of the County Sheriff’s Office.  

 

"This month's Monmouth in Focus takes a look at the Monmouth County Correctional Institution, our Youth Detention Center, the 9-1-1 Communications Call Center and Mobile Command Unit," said Sheriff Kim Guadagno. "People can tune in to find out what they need to know about the county Sheriff's law enforcement office, corrections and communications functions. We also discuss our efforts to tackle issues related to gangs and teen driving. The show provides an opportunity to update residents on our progress."

 

Viewers can also get a glimpse of the ‘Project Lifesaver’ program that helps locate individuals with Alzheimer’s or autism spectrum disorders who have gone missing and the Safe Cargo program which ensures that children’s car seats are installed properly.

 

The show is a half-hour program with two, 12-minute segments. Each segment features a different aspect of county government. Shows that have already aired have focused on the county library system, park system, human services, reclamation center, bridges and roads and mosquito commission. These shows may still be viewed on the county’s Web site at www.visitmonmouth.com.

 

“Monmouth In Focus” is a televised companion to the county newsletter of the same name. Launched in February, the show airs on local television access channels throughout Monmouth County as well as Cablevision and Comcast networks.

 

“This is a wonderful opportunity to bring the county’s services directly into the living rooms of our residents,” Freeholder Director Lillian G. Burry said. “Along with the county’s news-oriented Web site and recent newsletter mailing, the county is continuing its efforts to communicate consistently with residents about county services.”

 

The show is produced at Brookdale Community College, Lincroft, with the assistance of students enrolled in the television production classes.
