Yeah...they are going nuts! But it sounds like they are holding their own pretty well under the circumstances. I have my 97 locked on seaside and my 96 scanning dover, lakewood (also very busy tonight), seaside park, lacey, LBI, and a few other towns along with the county.

Anyone looking for a place along the shore to take their family needs to avoid Seaside Heights at all cost. I know I wouldn't want my family or friends subjected to those animals that go there. Point Pleasant Beach, both the town and the boardwalk, is a nice alternative. Lots to do, family orientated and people act like civilized human beings.

Absolutely!!! Seaside has become out of control. I would definitley not want my family hanging around down there. Point beach is much more of a family place, hopefully it will stay that way.

Hi all,

"Anyone looking for a place along the shore to take their family needs to avoid Seaside Heights at all cost. I know I wouldn't want my family or friends subjected to those animals that go there."

That's why we call it Sleazeside, it's not much better in the off sleazon, it's what lives there. (Some however are exceptions, we call them victims.)

"Point Pleasant Beach, both the town and the boardwalk, is a nice alternative."

Thank you, it's nice to be appreciated.

"Lots to do, family orientated and people act like civilized human beings."

That's "oriented" and we are, a nice place to live with nice friendly people. BTW, those Russian beauties who work at the Foodtown are the high point of my day. Too bad WE can't say the same about the Bennies, especially the ones with the New York plates. When they're not throwing objects from thier cars at us they're hurling insults. I'll not go to the parking lot at the inlet while they're attracting flocks of flying garbage cans with bits of bread and popcorn! They poop all over the place as it is and when they follow a clam dredge in it only gets worse. I tell them "please don't feed the gulls, we don't go to your town and feed the rats" and duck for cover as the dive bombers do thier thing. I love Point Beach, IN WINTER!

At times I wish I could carry a flare gun, fired into a car with rowdy little urchins tossing bottles the effect would be interesting. Still I wouldn't feel safe in Sleazeside carrying a B-A-R!

BTW I have now activated the seasonal channels, mindless chatter from Risden's, Jenkinson's and the Beach Patrol is an endless source of amusement. Oh, take a peek at us at http://www.tikibar.com/pages/webcam_boardwalk.html you'll enjoy the view.

From where I am in Port Monmouth (Middletown), I have no problem picking up northern & north-western frequencies. But south of here is completely different, reception is very spotty. I can pick up Seaside Heights from where I am but it is extremely rare - I don't remember the last time I was able to pick them up here. But tonight, of all nights, I am getting them loud & clear. So, for whatever reason the scanner gods have shone down and allowed me to pick up Seaside for tonight! This is like Christmas day - very interesting listening.

Nothing on the NJ Transit Trunk system.

NJSP is sending troopers from all north stations. B2-8 is going to be active shortly.

State Fire Coordinators are enroute as well.

The State fire coordinators have cleared the scene. They said that the railroad company has the cleanup under control. Apparently this was a freight train that derailed. NJSP is just becoming active on B2-8.

Been listening to that all day Elias! I work in Lacey Twp which is two towns over from Stafford. Although it is a tragedy, it is very exciting to listen to. 10+ years in this hobby and I never experienced a downed plane.

I first heard the call on the coast guard channel for all boaters in the area to respond to the scene and assist in search and rescue. Next NJSP was responding via boat, chopper and cars, the chopper was telling hqts. to find out who the other helicopters in the area were and to have them evacuate the area immediatley. Everyone was pretty much going crazy. Then I heard them confirm 3 (three) 10-29's (DOA), about an hour later, a fourth 29. County prosecuters office was having trouble making it to the scene due to all of the traffic on Rt. 72.

After a while, some fire departments were still responding and they were being told to sign in at the blue tent which was a command post. So it seems like things were getting a little more organized.

Although I'm not one to drive somewhere to check out what I am hearing on the scanner, But I was damn close to getting in my car and going to check this one out! But, I figured I wouldnt be able to get even close to the scene.

Excellent! lol....must have missed that! So much for radio ettiquite (SP?). Wish I could get my recording software to work!

Class I's are pretty much seasonal officers in Seaside , the go through a more extensive academy than class II's and class I's can carry firearms and do have arrest powers.

Update on the plane crash:

State Police reporting to shut down Rt. 72 because they will be pulling the wreckage out. Also, the fire department was hit out for decontamination to the scene.

Close... but you have it backwards.

Class II's have either full time or Class II Seasonal (slightly less hours) police certificates and can arrest for indictable offenses as well as disorderly persons offenses and right traffic and parking tickets. They do carry firearms and can do nearly anything a full time officer can.

Class I's have only a Class I Seasonal certificate and cannot carry a firearm. They can arrest for disorderly persons offenses and write all moving and parking tickets. Depending on the town, Class I's are allowed to carry no weapons (Spring lake), an expandable baton or PR24 only (Seaside), or both a baton and pepper spray (Point Pleasant Beach). A Class I will typically not be stopping any cars and will usually, depending on the town, be assigned to work with a Class II.

Whoops! You are 100% right. Must have been in a rush when I typed that post...sorry for the mis-information.

Thanks for the correction! :)

No problem. It does seem backwards that a Class II would have more powers than a Class I but welcome to NJ...
