County police chiefs walk away from Countywide force

The Camden County Police Chiefs’ Association announced it no longer wants to be part of the committee or the process of looking at a countywide police force through the County’s initiative to explore the option. The County will continue to pursue their conceptual plan for policing that puts more officers on the streets and offers more enhanced Public Safety options, such as specialized police services, from a countywide Detectives Bureau to regional K9 units and SWAT teams as well as a host of other options that are in synch with the trend towards regionalization in crime.
