Pursuant to Article VII Section II of the New Jersey State Constitution, each county in New Jersey is required to have three elected administrative officials known as "constitutional officers." These officers are the County Clerk and County Surrogate (both elected for five-year terms of office) and the County Sheriff (elected for a three-year term).[40] Camden County's constitutional officers, all elected directly by voters, are:[41]
Title | Representative |
---|---|
County Clerk | Joseph Ripa (D, Voorhees Township, 2024),[42][43] |
Sheriff | Gilbert "Whip" Wilson (D, Camden, 2024),[44][45] |
Surrogate | Michelle Gentek-Mayer (D, Gloucester Township, 2025).[46][47][48] |
The County Prosecutor is Grace C. MacAulay, who was sworn into office in January 2022.[49] Camden County constitutes Vicinage 4 of the New Jersey Superior Court, which is seated at the Camden County Hall of Justice in Camden, with additional facilities at various locations in Cherry Hill. The Assignment Judge for the vicinage is Deborah Silverman Katz.[50] As with most counties in the state, the court system in Camden County also includes municipal courts for each township, borough and city to handle traffic and other minor items. Law enforcement at the county level, in addition to a sheriff, includes the Camden County Police Department and the Camden County Prosecutor's Office. The Camden Police Department and the Camden County Park Police were absorbed into the newly formed Camden County Police Department in 2013.[51]
In March 2019, Melinda Kane was appointed to fill the seat expiring in December 2021 that had been held by Bill Moen, who resigned from office to run for a seat in the New Jersey General Assembly.[52] Kane served on an interim basis until the November 2019 general election, when she was elected to serve the balance of the term of office.
