Camden County proposes regional police and fire services | Philadelphia Inquirer | 01/15/2011: "A few towns have expressed interest, Cappelli said. He expects the force would be rolled out over a number of years.
'There's a potential for more officers on the street and less administration,' he said. 'There's over 30 police chiefs in Camden County, dozens of school superintendents and municipal administrators. There's a lot of redundancies that need to be eliminated.'
Regionalized law enforcement is relatively common in the South and West, where sheriff's departments patrol vast and often sparsely populated areas. At times cities and suburbs have looked to that model over the last two decades, said Dennis Kenney, a professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City."
