Lake Carasaljo was the scene of a successful community event on Sunday as local law enforcement agencies, first responders, and residents gathered for the annual “Cops and Bobbers” fishing program.

The event brought together members of the Lakewood Police Department’s Community Resource Unit and K-9 Unit, along with representatives from Lakewood EMS, the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office, and the New Jersey Conservation Police.

With favorable weather and a strong turnout, participants enjoyed a day of fishing, conversation, and community engagement along the lake. The event provided residents with an opportunity to interact with local law enforcement officers and first responders in a relaxed, family-friendly setting.

Officials said the event was a great example of community partnerships and highlighted the importance of building positive relationships between residents and the agencies that serve them.
