By the time the force is fully staffed, <br />which the county expects will be later this summer, <br />Camden will have 411 full-time sworn officers, or <br />about 53 for every 10,000 residents. Cities of <br />populations exceeding 50,000 employed an average <br />of 17 officers per 10,000 residents in the most recent <br />2012 data reported to the FBI. <br />o The makeup of the newly expanded force is more <br />suburban -- and much more white -- than the old city <br />police department. More than two-thirds of the former <br />department's officers were minorities; they now <br />account for about 43 percent of sworn personnel in a <br />city that is 95 percent minority. <br />• No other municipalities have joined the county -wide <br />police force <br />• Politico (2020) <br />• WashPo (2020) <br />Stanford Universip <br />
