Report Bias Safe Place Rainbow Badge

Introducing the SAFE PLACE Program

Long Branch Police Department is proud to join Asbury Park and Red Bank as the first local organizations to partner with the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office as pilots of MCPO SAFE PLACE.

The program is designed as a partnership with local businesses in providing a safe place for the reporting of bias incidents and hate crimes. Participating locations display brightly colored decals in an entrance area, to show that the location will provide a safe environment for individuals to call 911 for assistance.

LBPD encourages interested businesses, social organizations, and schools to participate. Participation is free and "the only requirement is twofold: if a victim of any crime (especially a hate crime) enters the premises, call 911 immediately; and allow the victim to remain on the premises until police arrive.

Learn more about participating in SAFE PLACE. or email the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office or Long Branch Police Department.
