FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – SOMERSET COUNTY, NJ: Somerset County is aware of the growing community concerns regarding the recent drone sightings in the area, and we are actively engaged with our local, state, and federal partners on the issue. While at this time federal Homeland Security officials have stated there is no known threat, the safety of our residents continues to be our top priority and we are taking the presence of these drones seriously.

Somerset County’s Office of Emergency Management has been coordinating with all levels of law enforcement to ensure an open pipeline of information. We encourage residents to help in the effort to obtain credible information by reporting drone sightings to the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI (225-5324) or http://tips.fbi.gov.
