Camden -- Police Chief Scott Thomson said he will have about 200 officers to police one of the nation's most dangerous cities. Still, he said, the department will maintain the ability to "proactively" fight crime.
The department will no longer be able to "perform traditional services the public has come to expect," such as responding to vehicle accidents without injuries, minor thefts and vandalism, Thomson said.
Residents will now have to phone those incidents in or visit headquarters.
"With the resources we have left we cannot have officers responding to those calls and still maintain a presence in drug and violent crime hot spots," Thomson said.
So in 2009 Camden led the nation in highest crime rate. There was like over two thousand crimes for every 100k in people which is like 4 times the average in America. Like if there is any fucking city in the country that needs to lose cops, its fucking Camden. Are you kidding me? I understand budget cuts but in Camden New Jersey you cant cut the police force. Imagine if Microsoft said we are going to lay off all the Asians. It just wouldnt work, you cant get rid of what makes you tick and the only thing keeping Camden from being Iraq is those fucking cops.
