The Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office wants you to know that they are holding elected officials and public trust employees in Atlantic County accountable for their actions and for any unlawful offenses.

Several Atlantic County elected officeholders and people serving in positions of community trust have been arrested and charged for infractions recently, including mayors, school principals, administrators and teachers, corrections officers, and police officers.

On Facebook recently, the  Prosecutor's Office published a listing of these people and the charges they are facing.

 The residents of Atlantic County trust that those who are in these positions will serve honorably. We are extremely fortunate that most do. However, when someone serving in such a position falls short of their oath, it is necessary they be held accountable for their actions.

 

The following fourteen (14) individuals have been identified as employed as either public officials or who were in a position of public trust at the time of their offenses were charged in Atlantic County:
