Is this the Lakewood Scoop or the Brick Scoop?
Thank you Brick PD for keeping us informed. Keep up the good work. And please be safe…
If you have no business on the roads stay off, remember stop signs and watch for people in other words be responsible and careful. !!!!!!

To ? says:
copycat ,find another name
Thank G-D for Brick PD
Thanks for the info LS! But since Lakewood is not on the barrier islands.. do you have an update for Lakewood in terms of snow accumulation and wind speeds?
Why is it that we have to hear news from another town, why can’t we hear from lakewood?
Why isn’t lakewood oem watching the storm, how come we haven’t heard from them.
I always see the oem vehicles gone from their building but never see or hear from them.
What does that plow truck get used for?
How many people does lakewood have on the oem list and what do they actually do?
WIll lakewood open up an emergency operations center this time?
This is embarassing, lakewood is a big town that has a lot of responders, experience and knowledgable reponders but very little noise and action is made.
Thank you brick pd for keeping your neighbors informed!!!
What Brick said, except for the parts that don’t apply. Lakewood will get wet and be bad for driving. Sounds like most days to me. Be safe and relax with the family. Geet Shabbbis
Why does it matter if Brick informed it’s neighboring city??? You all should be show some appreciation instead of such anger. Get a grip and no we don’t want a scoop, guess just wanted to make you were safe. Since if anything occurs in Lakewood we are the first to respond to help out.
