What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Camden County Police Department, NJ
Position in the state cohort
Camden County Police Department reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable New Jersey cities
At 1380.5 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Camden County Police Department ranks 2 of 417 — above 415 of the 416 other New Jersey cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +1925.9% against the cohort median of 68.1. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 31.2% of the 3,202 Part I offenses reported in Camden County Police Department for 2024, against a median of 7.1% across comparable New Jersey cities — a gap of 24.1 points. Offense mix is shaped by which agencies report and how incidents are classified as well as by the underlying offenses, so it describes the reported record rather than a settled difference in conditions.

Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 53.4% of reported property offenses in Camden County Police Department, against a cohort median of 82.1%. The remainder is burglary (298) and motor vehicle theft (728). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate Camden County Police Department's FBI UCR Table 8 municipal row. Per-100,000 rates use the reporting-year population on that row; cities that fail the completeness test stay out of rate rankings. A citywide figure rarely describes any single neighbourhood inside the municipal boundary.
