Peter E. Warshaw Jr. was appointed Monmouth County Prosecutor by New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine on May 21, 2007, succeeding Gary J. Schmelzinger. Prior to this role, he served as First Assistant Prosecutor in the same office. His tenure, which lasted until his resignation in 2012 (after which Christopher J. Gramiccioni was appointed by Governor Chris Christie), focused on combating public corruption, including close collaboration with federal authorities on major investigations. Warshaw's office was instrumental in the Bid Rig series of FBI-led operations targeting bid-rigging schemes in municipal contracts across Monmouth and Ocean Counties. These efforts resulted in dozens of arrests, including mayors, council members, and contractors, with convictions secured in federal and state courts between 2009 and 2011. His adversarial stance toward figures like Shimon Haber highlighted his aggressive pursuit of corruption allegations. Post-prosecutor career details are limited in public records, but Warshaw has been recognized for his contributions to law enforcement in New Jersey. No major personal controversies or legal issues involving Warshaw himself are documented in major sources.
