"Camden, N.J., is replacing its current 230-officer police force with a new, cheaper force of 400 in order to combat rising crime, according to NPR.

The city currently spends 75 percent of its budget on police and fire departments but it remains one of the nation’s most dangerous cities.

The police cannot keep up with crime and the city cannot afford to hire more officers. As a result, NPR reports,


it’s dissolving its municipal police force and letting the county set up a bigger, cheaper force to replace it."...........

Another public sector union that priced itself out of a job. There is a reason that even FDR knew that public sector workers shouldn't be allowed to collectively bargain for wages and benefits. Work conditions, certainly, but not compensation.
