State Police Program Provides Life Jackets To Anyone In Need

"Kids Don't Float" program creates life jacket loaner stations for community use

As part of the New Jersey State Police community initiative "Kids Don't Float," area families have been helping build life jacket loaner stations that are being placed around the state for anyone in need of a life jacket.

Volunteers in Manchester constructed 10 boxes last month, and 100 life jackets were given to children and their families as part of the outreach program.

Two boxes were recently installed in Long Beach Township and one has been placed at the Barnegat Municipal Dock (pictured.)
