“The opening of our Central Regional Headquarters represents another significant advancement in public safety and emergency medical services for the residents of Monmouth County,” said Sheriff Shaun Golden. “It will enhance the ability to provide rapid, high-quality emergency medical care and support our dedicated first responders with the resources they need to serve communities most effectively.
