MAYS LANDING – Atlantic County Prosecutor William E. Reynolds and Chief of County Detectives Bruce DeShields recognized the promotion of Natasha Alvarado to acting sergeant of County Detectives.
Alvarado worked in the Major Crimes and Intelligence units for many years. She will now supervise the Special Victims squad.
Reynolds administered the oath of office on Sept. 29 following remarks from DeShields. Members of the Prosecutor’s Office litigation and detective divisions attended the ceremony, along with Alvarado’s family appearing remotely from out of state.
Reynolds told Alvarado that the decision to promote her was made with the unanimous advice and consent of the agency’s senior leadership in light of her years of service, professionalism, tireless work on behalf of victims of serious crime, and record of community service.
In recent weeks, Alvarado volunteered her time for an agency-wide effort to make bagged lunches to be distributed as part of the Prosecutor’s homeless outreach on the Atlantic City Boardwalk.
