She serves as Cape May County’s Master Resiliency Officer, where she has been instrumental in promoting officer wellness and mental health initiatives, ensuring that the well-being of law enforcement professionals remains a top priority. Captain Marriner also serves as the Coordinator for the Cape May County Child Abduction Response Team (CART), which recently achieved federal accreditation certification—a rigorous process that reflects the team’s excellence in readiness, coordination, and investigative standards in child abduction cases. In addition, Captain Marriner has long been recognized for her investigative expertise in child abuse cases, and she played a vital role in the creation of the Cape May County Child Advocacy Center. This center embodies a community-based, multidisciplinary approach to child abuse investigations, designed to reduce trauma for child victims and non-offending family members, improve case outcomes, and ensure comprehensive support services are provided to those in need. “Captain Marriner’s lifelong dedication to protecting children, supporting victims, and strengthening our law enforcement community has left an indelible mark on Cape May County,” Prosecutor Sutherland added. “We are proud to celebrate this well-deserved recognition of her remarkable achievements.”
