Soloway reported at the Board of Commissioners June 21st meeting.
Soloway, the Board’s liaison for the Public Safety Department reported, “Digital school mapping and text 9-1-1 are risk reduction actions that were within the county’s jurisdiction and have been implemented and active since 2018.”

Sheriff Fred Brown and JCP&L Issue An Important Joint Warning On Scams Targeting Utility Customers |
|
Hunterdon County Sheriff Fred W. Brown joins with Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L) and its parent company, FirstEnergy, to warn residents about scams targeting utility customers with sophisticated tactics and threats of power disconnection unless large sums of money are paid to the scammers.
Sheriff Brown said, “Since 2020 there has been a significant increase in all types of scams, often targeting the most vulnerable in our communities. While scams are active year-round, utility scams are most prevalent in winter and summer months when customers need heat or air conditioning.
JCP&L sent out an alert after receiving on-going reports from customers about utility scams tricking customers into giving away personal information and paying ‘unpaid bills’ to avoid service disconnection.”
