New Jersey’s annual law enforcement major discipline report reveals multiple Camden County Sheriff’s Office employees faced serious disciplinary action during 2025, including three terminations and several lengthy suspensions.
The disciplinary cases involved allegations of insubordination, unauthorized absences, conduct unbecoming, and violations of agency policies.

According to disciplinary records, Ehret violated the policy on five occasions between March 12 and April 21, 2025.
“On five occasions from March 12, 2025 through April 21, 2025, Officer Ehret was charged with insubordination for repeated violations of the grooming policy,” the report states.
Two additional officers were also terminated after similar findings.

Courthouse argument led to suspension

“Officer Marcano made sarcastic remarks about training and continued to unnecessarily argue with the attorney,” the disciplinary report states.
The incident occurred on June 1, 2023, according to the records.
Deputy suspended after bar confrontation

Williams was not terminated.
