Probe of Camden Police Department for Misconduct


By Alicia Cruz

The Camden County Prosecutors office is investigating allegations of police misconduct within the Camden police department.

So far, four police officers are under scrutiny after officials say they may have planted evidence in cases, mostly involving drug arrests in Camden.

As of November, four Camden police officers have been suspended, but they have yet to be charged.

Lawyers for persons arrested have said that more than 50 people could have their charges dropped or convictions vacated depending on the outcome of the investigation.

The Camden County Prosecutor's Office is expected to discuss what cases have been dropped Friday afternoon.
