She became a county detective in 2009, “where she served our community with honor, dignity and respect before her untimely passing,” Cumberland County Prosecutor Jennifer Webb-McRae said in a statement.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Bridgeton Chief of Police Michael Gaimari Sr. said he knew Mosley for most of her career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Always loved and admired, so devastating of a loss,” he said in a statement. “Justice will be served and you will always be in our thoughts and prayers.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mosley served in several units of the Cumberland County Prosecutor’s Office, including Trial Teams, the Special Victims Unit, the Community Justice Unit and the Professional Standards Unit, where she was assigned as the unit supervisor, the office said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Sergeant Mosley was a constant friend and role model for all those with whom she served and led in the law enforcement community throughout Cumberland County and beyond,” Webb-McRae said. “She will be missed more than words can detail, but she will never be forgotten by her CCPO family.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy said he was “outraged and heartbroken by the murder” of Mosley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “As a detective with the Cumberland County Prosecutor’s Office, Sgt. Mosley served her community with distinction, working every day to ensure the safety and well-being of the people of Cumberland County,” he said in a statement. “This act of violence impacts our entire law enforcement community and all of New Jersey.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
