If you believe that criminals in South Jersey are never caught, the judicial system is too lax, and cops are afraid to arrest people in this day and age, this list might help change your mind.

Across Atlantic County in January, over 100 people were arrested.

And while that seems like a lot, there are many things to consider.

We recently combed the Facebook pages of the Atlantic County Sheriff's Office and just about every municipal police department across the county to compile a list of those who were cuffed last month. Below, you will see teenagers, adults, and senior citizens who are facing all kinds of charges.

However, this is not a comprehensive list. Some police departments only post very generic information while others post the actual names of those that got arrested. Those arrests also span various periods -- for example, the sheriff's office hasn't released any arrests that happened after the middle of January yet. Some departments don't release any information about arrests at all.

Regardless, this is a great snapshot of what police officers in our area do day in and day out and we thank those in blue for keeping us all safe.

As always, we remind everyone that charges are accusations and all persons are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. All of the information assembled here came from social media platforms.
