Atlantic County Sheriff Eric Scheffler administered the oath of office to 11 new hires on April 20.
Scheffler stated that he did not hire last year as a result of COVID-19 that caused the day-to-day functions of the courthouses to scale back dramatically. “The need to bring on additional personnel at that time could not be justified,” said Scheffler.
Now that the courts are opening back up, Scheffler felt it necessary to replenish the openings and get his organization back to almost full staff. All new hires are filling open vacancies of officers who either retired or left the agency.

Hammonton native authors ‘A Taste for All Seasons’
Eleanor Rodio Furlong of Naples, Fla., formerly of Hammonton and Vineland, presents a legacy of hand-me-down recipes that were perfected over a century or more plus a memoir about a lost era in Americana culinary history, in her new book, “A Taste for all Seasons: A Healthy Blend of Italian and American Cuisines.”
The book features authentic recipes with origins in the Neapolitan and Abruzzi regions of Italy, which found their way to southern New Jersey with Italian immigrants settling there around the turn of the 20th century. The Rodios were among those who established farms, planted their roots in the Jersey soil, and nurtured their families in the New World.
