CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE - Cape May County Sheriff Gary Schaffer announced that information on incarcerated inmates is now available on the Sheriff's Office Website www.cmcsheriff.net. Information includes inmate's name, age, inmate ID number, committed date, committing authority, charges, bail, and any detainers.

"This information is public record and our officers and our county MIS department have developed a program that enables us to transfer this state information to our website. This information will assist the law enforcement, public and the local media with current up to date information on incarcerated inmates," said Sheriff Schaffer.

The list will be updated at least once per day, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. The "Correctional Center Population List" is updated as frequently as possible and is subject to change without notice.

Sheriff Schaffer added, "By posting this information, I anticipate a reduction in phone calls to our staff on bail inquiries, criminal charges, detainers, law enforcement requests on inmates, media requests for information and status of inmates, and calls reference to status for visitation. Last year alone we had almost 9,800 visitation and thousands of phone call requests for various information that the posting of this information should reduce. Valuable officer's time in the records bureau will be freed up for other important tasks."

The following information is available on the Website:

· Inmate's Name
· Age
· Inmate ID
· Committing Authority
· Charges
· Bail
· Detainer

Anyone wishing to schedule a visit should call (609) 465-1233 and listen for directions.
