Christine A. Hoffman, a career prosecutor and the deputy director of the Division of Criminal Justice since 2013, has been named acting Gloucester County prosecutor.
The announcement was made by Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal on Thursday—the same day that Prosecutor Charles A. Fiore resigned the post, according to a release.
"I'm honored that Attorney General Grewal asked me to serve in this new role," Hoffman said in a statement. "I have devoted my career to serving the people of New Jersey, and I will continue to do so as acting county prosecutor."
Fiore's departure was reportedly abrupt, though the reasons for it weren't immediately known, according to the reports.
Hoffman has spent the last two decades-plus as a career prosecutor, and the last seven years at the Division of Criminal Justice as deputy director. There, she prosecuted cases involving violent crimes, sex offenses and white-collar crimes; handled state and federal appeals; and supervised more than 100 staff in various bureaus, including the Specialized Crimes Bureau, Financial and Cyber Crimes Bureau, and Corruption Bureau.
Prior to joining the Division of Criminal Justice in 2000, Hoffman was an assistant prosecutor in the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office.
She is also an adjunct professor at Rutgers Law School in Camden, where she previously received her J.D. with high honors; a faculty member at the National Attorneys General Training and Research Institute in Washington, D.C., and the Attorney General's Advocacy Institute in Trenton; and a certified instructor at two police academies, according to the release.
"I have great confidence in Acting Prosecutor Hoffman, who will guide the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office through this transition," Grewal said in a statement. "She is a career prosecutor and no-nonsense manager with a deep commitment to public service. I thank her for taking on this important responsibility."
Fiore was named acting prosecutor in Gloucester in November 2017, and his nomination was confirmed by the Senate the following month. Fiore, of Williamstown, had been a solo since 1991 focusing on civil and criminal litigation, construction law, municipal law, labor law and family law. From 1990 to 1991, he was with DeMarco & Fiore, and from 1987 to 1990, he was with DeMarco & DeStefano.
