East Brunswick, NJ PD finds that Tango Tango plays a critical role in running a better sting operation.
In 2024, the East Brunswick Police Department in New Jersey conducted a multi-agency sting operation to apprehend individuals involved in child exploitation. Operations like this present significant communication challenges when relying solely on traditional two-way radios used by public safety personnel.
In this case, East Brunswick made the decision to rely on new push-to-talk technology from Tango Tango to enable better communication capabilities for the agencies participating in the sting.
Chief Frank LoSacco of East Brunswick PD said of the operation in a letter to Tango Tango:
I wanted to take a moment to thank the entire Tango-Tango team for a very successful multi-jurisdictional operation in East Brunswick. The success of this operation was, in no small part, due to the seamless communication enabled by your system.
Our agency conducted a multi-day operation with numerous agencies, and we were able to easily establish an operations communication network utilizing our Tango-Tango system. This proved to be an essential asset in keeping our officers and personnel from various jurisdictions connected and coordinated throughout the investigation. Your system’s ability to facilitate clear, real-time communication across all the agencies ensured that everyone was on the same page, allowing us to work together effectively to address the challenges that arose.
In what can often be a chaotic and time-sensitive environment, the reliability and ease of use of the Tango-Tango system made a remarkable difference. The system's ability to integrate with multiple jurisdictions truly enhanced our teamwork and contributed to the successful outcome of the investigation.
Please extend my thanks to your team for their continued support, and we look forward to using Tango-Tango in future operations. It’s not often that technology exceeds our expectations, but in this case, Tango-Tango certainly did.

This operation is yet another example of the tangible impact better technology can have when placed in the hands of first responders. Time and again, we have seen that better communication leads to better outcomes. We will continue to innovate so those on the front lines have the tools they need to succeed."
