CREST HAVEN —Sheriff Gary Schaffer announced the apprehension of delinquent parents Tue., July 26 in their bi-annual Child Support Warrant Sweep for the fiscal year 2011.
Schaffer stated the goal of the three-day intensive Non Support Sweep is to apprehend non-custodial parents who have failed to pay their court-ordered child support.
Additional targets included parents who have failed to appear at court hearings to establish a child support order or order for medical support. The sweep is hosted in cooperation with the N.J. Office of Child Support Services (OCSS). The Sheriffs’ Association of New Jersey (SANJ) is the lead agency in this event as per the Sheriff IV-D Cooperative Agreement between OCSS and the Sheriff’s Association, as authorized under Federal Regulation 45 CFR 302.34.
Cape May County Sheriff’s Officers arrested a total of 28 persons, 25 on non-support warrants for failure to pay child support payments ordered by the courts and three for warrants from municipal courts.
“I want to commend the officers of the Sheriff’s Office, especially our ID Unit and warrants teams that participated in the state wide sweep. We continue to do everything possible to ensure court ordered child support payments are collected. We encourage the public to report to us the location of persons who they know are wanted to failure to make child support
payments. Anonymous tips can be texted to our TIP411 hot line. See our web site www.cmcsheriff.com for information on forwarding tips,” Schaffer stated.
The OCSS commended both the Sheriffs’ Association of New Jersey and the Judiciary for collaboratively supporting the Sheriffs’ final procedures and data report for the Sheriff Child Support Warrant Sweep.
Sheriff’s Officers from statewide Sheriffs’ Offices, with assistance from other agencies, canvassed the state in search of offenders over the course of the three-day Child Support Sweep.
