Camden adjusts to life with 163 less police officers

A while back we had written a tongue-in-cheek piece encouraging all the Jersey City criminals to consider Camden, who through budget cuts and no tax money coming in had to lay off almost half their police force. Well now that the new normal has set in down Camden way, one can start assessing the horror of living there via a great piece in the New York Times.

Apparently crooks love the sight of 40 something officer jumping out of police cruisers to give chase rather then their more nimble and much faster 20 something colleagues used to do.
