Camden District Council Collaborative Board

Last Updated: Tuesday, 06 January 2009

Summary

This feature allows citizens to report on quality of life issues requiring city attention. These include abandoned homes, abandoned vehicles, uncollected garbage, graffiti, streetlight problems, suspicious activity, and overgrown vacant properties. Users may also generate reports regarding the number of issues responded to and still outstanding in each section of the city, the average time taken to respond to each issue, and the number of issues outstanding for an excessively long period of time. Users may also generate maps showing outstanding issues in their neighborhood.

The District Council Collaborative Board began when, as part of the restructuring of the police department, and in keeping with the philosophy of community oriented policing, a New Jersey Public Safety Commission recommended that each district create a council/formal body/aka District Council Collaborative Boards (with community representation from the neighborhoods) that can interact, make recommendations and problem solve with the police and other agencies in the city to improve public safety and the overall quality of life for Camden residents
