Camden, New Jersey, had a serious problem with crimes, especially violent and drug crimes. Part of the problem was the lack of police officers due to budget cuts, which eventually resulted in nonresponse to 911 calls and a lag in crime investigations. In May 2013, Camden officials responded by disbanding the city's entire police department. This unprecedented step allowed Camden County to hire a completely new force without the restrictions of the previous department's police union labor contract. As a result, per officer costs were cut in half, and the city was eventually able to nearly double its number of police officers. Law enforcement officials also increased the use of crime-fighting technology and trained the new officers to be more involved in the community. By the summer of
2014, even though the city's murder rate was still considerably higher than the national average, shootings were down 43 percent and overall violent crime was down 22 percent from two years earlier.
