I live and work in Camden, the New Jersey city that disbanded and rebuilt its police force. We've been upheld as a model for cities like Minneapolis, but there's a lot more to the story. (by KeithEricBenson)

Dr. Keith E. Benson is the author of "Education Reform and Gentrification in the Age of #CamdenRising: Public Education and Urban Redevelopment in Camden, NJ" and currently serves as president of the Camden Education Association.

The year the city's 140-year-old police force was terminated, Camden experienced a record number of homicides. Camden is still the most dangerous city in New Jersey, and there's been a spike in abuse-of-power allegations against the new police force.The evening of June 7, I received a direct tweet from Michael Leo Owens, professor of political science at Emory University, that read, "So many eyes gonna be looking to Camden for predictions re: Minneapolis."

city council recently passed a bill abolishing their embattled police department following the widely-viewed murder of George Floyd.Sure enough, Dr. Owens was correct in his prediction; no less than 12 hours after I read his tweet, I saw a slew of media outlets hailing Camden's County Police as a potential model for urban locales experiencing conflicts between their residents and police.
