Morris County Prosecutor’s Office honors retiring detective supervisor, program coordinator

MORRISTOWN, N.J. (Morris County) — The Morris County Prosecutor’s Office is recognizing Detective Supervisor Stephen Carro and Mental Health and Veterans Program Coordinator Carrie Totten as they retire after years of public service, officials said.

Morris County Prosecutor Robert J. Carroll, First Assistant Prosecutor Maggie Calderwood and Chief of Detectives Robert McNally honored the two employees and thanked them for their work, the office said. A walkout ceremony for Carro was held Dec. 29, 2025, and a walkout for Totten was held Dec. 23, 2025, according to the announcement.

Carro most recently served in the General Investigations Unit. Prosecutors said his law enforcement career began in 1998 at a juvenile detention center before he joined the Morris County Sheriff’s Office, where he worked in assignments including protective services and warrants and served as an instructor in firearms and defensive tactics. He later joined the Union County Prosecutor’s Office in 2013, serving in units including the Homicide Task Force and Special Victims Unit, officials said.

Carro returned to the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office in 2015 and held roles across multiple units, including general investigations, major crimes, firearms, fugitive and training coordinator, the office said. He was promoted to detective supervisor in June 2021, prosecutors said.

Totten’s career included work in criminal case management and advocacy roles before she joined the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office in 1994, prosecutors said. The office said she served as a bilingual detective, assisting specialized units with work focused on sex crimes, child abuse and Megan’s Law, and served as a Morris County detective from 1994 through 2001. She later returned to the prosecutor’s office in 2017 in the Pretrial Services Unit and in 2021 became the Mental Health and Veterans Diversion Program Coordinator, officials said. The office said she graduated in the first class of the Morris County Crisis Intervention Team program and has served on the CIT steering committee.

In a statement, Carroll praised both retirees’ service.

“Detective Supervisor Carro and Program Coordinator Totten have been dedicated members of the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office,” Carroll expressed his appreciation and said. “For nearly three decades, Detective Supervisor Carro has served the people of Morris County, and has spent countless hours teaching, imparting the next generation of law enforcement with the skills they need in this challenging vocation.

“Totten was tenacious in serving those in crisis. She was dedicated to finding ways to help those in need. Regardless of how often doors would shut in her face – she would find a window.

“As you both embark on this well-earned next chapter in your lives, your colleagues and I extend our deepest gratitude and admiration to you for your years of outstanding service.”
