New Jersey state troopers building bridges with community in Camden

CAMDEN, NJ – Building bridges between cops and the community has been an important part of Camden County’s effort over the years to reduce crime over the past few years. Last week, the New Jersey State Police came to the city to build bridges of their own.

Lieutenant Colonel Wayne Korte and a contingent of troopers attended Dr. Stephnè Coney’s National Stop The Violence Alliance “What About YOUth” program in Camden, N.J.

“Lt. Colonel Korte had the opportunity to explain the importance of building relationships within the community to create strong partnerships around the common goal of reducing violence,” the agency said.

National Stop the Violence Alliance is a non-profit organization that focuses on bridging gaps within the community. Their mission is to help heal communities through principles of non-violence.
