TOMS RIVER – Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer and the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office are mourning the loss of retired Toms River Police Department Detective James Vuocolo, remembering him as a devoted public servant and passionate advocate for law enforcement.
Vuocolo was a founding member and trustee of the 200 Club of Ocean County, an organization dedicated to supporting police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical personnel who are killed or seriously injured in the line of duty.
In addition to his public service career, Vuocolo served for many years as chairman of the Blue Mass Committee for the Diocese of Trenton, helping to honor law enforcement officers in faith and remembrance.
“Jimmy’s personality was larger than life,” said Prosecutor Billhimer. “His unwavering dedication to supporting and remembering those in law enforcement has left a lasting impact in Ocean County and across New Jersey. He will be deeply missed.”
Vuocolo’s contributions to the law enforcement community extended beyond his own department, reflecting a lifelong commitment to service, support, and honor for his fellow officers.
