Capt. Ashlee Marriner of the Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office has graduated from the FBI’s National Academy. Marriner was among a select group of law enforcement professionals chosen for the program, designed to enhance leadership and investigative skills.
The FBI National Academy, held in Quantico, Virginia, is an intensive 10-week program that brings together top law enforcement officers from across the country and around the world.
The curriculum focuses on leadership, criminal justice innovations and advanced law enforcement techniques.
Graduates of the program are recognized as having reached the highest standard in law enforcement training.
Prosecutor Jeffrey Sutherland said: “Captain Marriner’s dedication to public service and her commitment to advancing in law enforcement exemplify the highest qualities of leadership. … I have no doubt that Captain Marriner will continue to make a significant impact in her role and in the law enforcement community.”
Marriner, who has a B.S. in criminal justice from West Chester University, is currently the administrative captain at the Prosecutor’s Office. She began her career at the office in 2006, when she was hired as the multidisciplinary coordinator at the Victim/Witness Office.
In July 2007, she was hired by the Prosecutor’s Office as a county detective. She rotated in units, working in the Special Victims Unit, Major Crimes Unit and the Gangs, Guns and Narcotics Task Force.
In 2015, Marriner was promoted to detective sergeant, where she supervised the Special Victims Unit.
In August 2017 she was promoted to lieutenant and continued to supervise both the Special Victims Unit and the Hi-Technology Crimes Unit. She is also a Child Abduction Response Team (CART) coordinator as well as a master resiliency officer for the county.
