Update:

Two months after Camden, NJ, laid off 160 police officers, city prosecutors have released a sobering report showing a dramatic rise in violent crime in the drug-and-crime-ridden city of 80,000 residents.
Aggravated assaults with firearms jumped 259 percent in January and February compared to last year, and violent crime over all is up 19 percent, the Camden County Prosecutor's Office told the Philadelphia Inquirer. Murders and robberies, however, were down for the period.
"I can't tell you we're seeing an increase in crime because of the layoffs," Thomas Garrity Jr., the prosecutor's office investigations chief, told the paper. "I do know we have the perfect storm that includes a sluggish economy, the proliferation of national gangs, and a reduction of police manpower throughout the county."

Look at what will happen in Kali, no Free lunch money to 37,000 families in LA alone. AND, transfer of some 40,000 felon and parolee to local county jails and supervision.

LA would be more vibrant and lovely at night

To add to the trouble, County is also letting 36 Prosecutors and investigators to go home...

CAMDEN — A plan submitted to the Civil Service Commission would eliminate 68 employees at the Camden County Prosecutor's Office, including 26 investigators and 18 assistant prosecutors, according to a report on CourierPostOnline.com.
The plan was described as a worst-case scenario, and a prosecutor said the office is still in talks with the county and union leaders, the report said. The cuts would eliminate more than a quarter of the office's staff.
The cuts come at a particularly difficult time for Camden, as the financially troubled city is set to lay off nearly half of its police force.

50% of 370 Police Officers are to be dismissed due to budget cuts. Where? Camden, NJ Camden has a pop 80K. I tried to compare, Allen TX has similar pop and some 160 of Police Force. We had 0 murder last year. Camden has some 34 or so.
