She will be missed more than words can detail, but she will never be forgotten by her CCO family.”
The office expressed gratitude to local and state law enforcement agencies, including the Bridgeton Police Department, New Jersey State Police Major Crimes Unit, and Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office, for their support in bringing justice to those responsible for Sergeant Mosley’s death.
