Community Justice Advisory Board

As part of the Prosecutor’s Office community outreach effort, citizen advisory boards were established in three municipalities. The purpose of the Advisory Boards is to promote and foster positive relationships within the community in order to enhance the quality of life for the residents of Cape May County by addressing community concerns and utilizing proactive programs to enhance the safety of all who live and visit the County. The Boards are comprised of a diverse group of individuals representing Middle Township, Wildwood, and Woodbine. The Boards assist the Prosecutor’s Office with ideas for crime prevention and reduction of juvenile delinquency.

We are currently seeking a few members from the previously mentioned communities to fill vacancies on the Boards. Please contact Community Justice Coordinator, Melisha V. Anderson-Ruiz at (609) 465-1135 or manderson@cmcpros.net for further information.

The Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office continuously seeks to build and reinforce understanding and cooperation in the County through proactive crime prevention programs and initiatives. Since there needs to be more effective communication between the communities and law enforcement agencies to address problems, the Office of the Prosecutor has utilized funds from grant JAG 3-4-06 to ensure that a more effective plan and increased effort is in place. One of the most important goals of this initiative is to prevent and reduce crime and juvenile delinquency through a collaborative partnership between law enforcement and the community which will result in a better quality of life.
