Living here, I have honked auto horn, waved at walking or auto sitting officers, walked to parked vehicles to thank for servicing the neighborhoods and each time the officer placed hands near their gun belt until I gained their attention. Being robbed recently, the attitude of arriving officers was that, I was a city resident with nothing worth stealing. After being questioned 4 times, recorded once and my story seemed consistent, my burglary was termed felony and detectives were sent. Several days later a merchant contacted me saying a detective questioned him about me having 100 of K of items and no receipts and the detective was explained that the merchant records contained documentation of insurance worth when in merchant care. The attitude of members of police was never changed by apology to my favor. Weeks later to have handyman work correct my internal burglarized home, a worker stated he would come from Burlington to Camden to work with no problem because his wife worked in Camden. He came to Camden before our appointment time and noted an officer sitting in a vehicle. He asked if the neighborhood were safe. The officer replied NO...it is dangerous and people had been shot blocks from my property. I called the non 911 # several times with no answer, so I made it my mission to speak to 6 different officers to speak of my offense and the response has been "they did not say it" and " their job is not to listen" call the 757 number and lastly they refused to talk about the comment in a meeting of rank and file. When news pictorially reports police showing love in the community, it is difficult to respect when it seems as if ALL is an orchestrated set up to say "see we care".
