Shame on you.
What you say regarding the number of officers in Camden is correct. However if you believe that crime dropped by almost half, no doubt you didn’t live in the southern part of NJ or the suburbs of NJ in close proximity to Philadelphia. And the state police supplement the Camden force when necessary. Did you know that as well?
