Police layoffs make crime-plagued Camden all the worse
That was before crime-ridden Camden — the poorest city in New Jersey and a byword for urban failure — cut its police force nearly in half to balance a $26 million budget deficit. After losing millions in state aid and unable to gain concessions on a union contract, the city laid off 300 employees last month including 167 cops and 60 firefighters.
...
Now Redd, the city's first mayor since emerging from state control, is in a stalemate with police and fire unions, which have rejected contract concessions designed to save the city money. Police Chief Scott Thomson has sent all available police to street duty to keep patrols near full strength.
