Community Services

 

The City of Camden Police Department has received funding through the Department of Justice to employ a full-time officer dedicated to Community Oriented Policing Services - COPS.

The purpose of this program is to partner with various community groups - sports oganizations, youth groups, churches, etc. - to bring the goals of law enforcement in line with the needs of the surrounding community. 
 

 
Detective Tyrrell Coleman, COPS Officer

The COPS program establishes a liaison between law enforcement and the people we serve.
It is intended to create:
  • A greater understanding of the police agency, its ideals, goals and operations
  • A greater level of communication both to and from the community itself
  • An enhanced level of trust in law enforcement
