Hundreds of law enforcement officials from all 21 New Jersey counties recently met in Atlantic City to stay abreast of ongoing issues and to continue their legal education. During the annual college, a retired Chief Assistant Prosecutor for the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office was honored for his years of service, and a MCPO Assistant Prosecutor was crowned the Assistant Prosecutors’ Association of New Jersey Double Jeopardy Champion.

The three-day training program at the Borgata Hotel & Casino was part of the 2022 Annual College of the County Prosecutors Association of New Jersey, and included an appearance by State Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin. The college took place on November 19-21 and was hosted by Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office.

Over three days, the state’s 21 county prosecutors, assistant prosecutors, and members of the state Attorney General’s Office took part in an array of breakout sessions focusing on varying legal issues. Some of the educational classes attended by Morris County Prosecutors’ Office staff included Talking to a Jury: Are You Getting Through?, Parabon NanoLabs Genealogy Presentation, Ethics of Leadership, the Art and Science of Excellent Attorney Voir Dire, and Stalked: A Case Study. There were also general meetings involving the 21 County Prosecutors, First Assistant Prosecutors, Assistant Prosecutors, Forensic Nurse Coordinators, and Victim Witness Coordinators.

A highlight of the college were awards given to three individuals for their outstanding achievements, including former Morris County Prosecutor’s Office Chief Assistant Prosecutor John McNamara, who retired last August after a quarter century with Morris County. McNamara was also a featured speaker at this year’s college.
