您住美國哪裡? 有投票權嗎? 這麼了解釋市與郡的管理?
我住的小區10幾年前只有九名警察就外包給郡了,外包後警局制服與警車還是印本地,警員不變裝備與經費更多,只是薪水管理與招募拱籌由郡負責,居民根本沒感覺
Camden市警務改革後提到更多的警察巡街,人口下降犯罪統計數字也變好,實際上呢? 米國治安好有發展的城市一堆人想進來,人口與房價都是每年近10%上漲
The department instituted other changes, including putting more officers on the street on a regular basis, getting to know the community and changing the way an officer's performance was measured — not by the number of arrests or tickets issued, but other outcomes.
Population in 2017: 74,532 (100% urban, 0% rural). Population change since 2000: -6.7%

想打臉可以,但得拿比較新的數字,這不用得住美國有投票權才能,井底之蛙不會懂的
2013市警隊解散,同年郡警局也重新改造,在改造重組後要犯罪率下降不是一蹴即成
但最近幾年犯罪率確實比剛解散警隊後那幾年要好,不是市民素質變高,而是警民合作
Camden has a national reputation for its violent crime rates, which once ranked as the highest in the country, although recent years have seen a significant drop in violent crime, with 2017 seeing the lowest number of homicides in three decades.
There were 23 homicides in Camden in 2017, the lowest since 1987 and almost half as many as the 44 murders the previous year. Both homicides and non-fatal shootings have declined sharply since 2012, when there were a record 67 homicides in the city.
In 2005, the Camden Police Department was operated by the state.
In 2011, it was announced that a new county police department would be formed.
For two years, Camden experienced its lowest homicide rate since 2008. Camden also reorganized its police disbandment that same year.
In 2011, Camden's budget was $167 million with $55 million allotted for police spending. However, the police force still experienced a budgetary shortfall when state aid fell through.
Camden was rated No. 5 nationwide for homicides with approximately 87 murders per 100,000 residents in 2012. Camden's murder rate is six times the national average across the Delaware River and Philadelphia.
Robberies, property crimes, nonfatal shooting incidents, violent crimes, and aggravated assaults have declined since 2012.
In November 2012, Camden began the process of terminating 273 officers to later hire 400 new officers, out of the 2,000 applicants that have already submitted letters of interest to the county, to have a fresh start of a larger, non-unionized group to safeguard the nation's poorest city.
The city's officers rejected a contract proposal from the county that would have allowed approximately all 260 Camden county's police officers to Camden Police Metro Division, to only 49% of them to be eligible to be rehired once the 141-year-old department becomes disbanded.
Although the annual homicide rate averaged 48 since 2008, in April 2013 the city reported 57 homicides in a population of 77,000 compared to 67 homicides in 2012. In mid-March 2013, Camden residents would have noticed the first changes once the first group of officers became employed and were in an eight-week field of training on the Camden streets.
On May 1, 2013, Camden County's Police Department was disbanded due to a union contract that made it financially impossible to keep officers on the street. While the existing county officers were still present, Camden County's Police Department brought in 25 new officers to train in neighborhoods in hopes they can regain the communities trust.
The new police force had lower salaries along with fewer benefits than they had received from the city.
Because of the reorganized force in 2013, the number of cops in the streets has increased and spread throughout Camden. Camden's new police force began patrolling in tandem, speaking with residents, and driving patrol cars.
Camden County Police Department hosted several Meet Your Officers events to further engage with residents.
In 2018, the Camden County Police Department reported that violent crime had dropped 18%, led by a 21% decline in aggravated assaults; nonviolent crimes fell by 12%, the number of arson fell by 29%, burglaries by 21%, and nonfatal "shooting hit incidents" dropped by 15%. So far, with only 22 homicides, 2018 had the lowest homicide rate in comparison to 2017' with 23 homicides.
The city has added other crime-fighting tactics like surveillance cameras, better street lighting, and curfews for children. Although they added these tactics, the number of murders has risen again.
As a last resort, officers were only authorized to use handguns and handcuffs. Though Camden officers are equipped with GPS tracking devices and body cameras, the effectiveness and necessity of body cameras remains controversial. Following the police forces' reorganization, many Camden residents have been pulled over or issued tickets for minor violations, such as having tinted windows and failing a check for audible devices on their bikes. Police say the city's most heinous offenders oftentimes commit minor offenses, such as suspects of armed robbery often drive cars with tinted windows, and drug dealers deploy lookouts on bikes.
J. Scott Thomson, Chief of Police, asserted "We are going to leverage every legal option that we have to deter their criminal activity.
Camden City Experiences Historic Drop In Crime Rate, New Study Claims
The Camden County Police Department finished 2019 with what amounts to an aggregate reduction of three percent over 2019 for violent crime accounting for 1,161 incidents. In addition, this represents a 42 percent decrease compared to 2012 UCR numbers for violent crime.
The numbers also represent a historic drop in total UCR crime – both violent and nonviolent – going back to the late 1960s. Last year, the city logged 3,305 total crimes compared to 10,724, during the first year we have on record for UCR data, 1974, representing a 69 percent reduction.
我只是想證明你所謂腦殘新聞的報導是否正確還是你所謂一件事各自表述哪個可信度高,雖然我不認為T台報這則新聞是什麼腦殘新聞
但看來它們報導就算不是很完整但也接近事實,你的說法就只是各自表述被騙得跟什麼ㄧ樣,難怪川普會當總統
