The first quarter of 2026 has underscored the significant reduction of crime in the city
(Camden, NJ) –In a stunning accomplishment, the Camden County Police Department has reached a 90% reduction in homicides, compared to the same period in 2012, the last full year of operation of the former city department. The city has also seen a 57% reduction in overall violent crime and an 89% reduction in shootings throughout Camden’s 19 neighborhoods. During the Camden County Police Department’s tenure, robberies have declined 78% and assaults with a firearm have fallen more than 75%, compared with the first quarter of 2012.
This new analysis comes on the heels of the city’s first homicide-free winter in 50 years and builds on the department’s 2025 Uniform Crime Reporting results, which recorded the lowest number of violent crimes and homicides since 1985 with 12 total homicides. Under the leadership of Chief Gabriel Rodriguez and his command staff, the CCPD has collectively focused their strategies on unity policing and embracing technology to make officers smarter and safer on the streets.

Electric scooters and electric bikes have flooded into Gloucester City and surrounding towns, and the results are becoming harder to ignore. What began as a convenient way to get around has quickly turned into a safety problem for anyone who uses our sidewalks, jogging paths, or neighborhood streets responsibly.
The danger isn’t theoretical. On my daily walks with Sweetie, I’ve had kids on these motorized bikes come up behind us without a sound. These machines make no noise, so you can’t hear them approaching until they’re already on top of you. More than once, a rider has blown past us at high speed, leaving no time to react. In one instance, a teenager on an e‑bike came straight at the dog and me, expecting us to move aside. I was forced to step off the path or be hit. That’s not “sharing the road”—that’s intimidation.
