Hey --

Here in South Jersey, we know a thing or two about effectively implementing long-overdue policing reforms. When the Camden community came together to demand change, Donald -- then a State Senator -- joined their efforts to identify effective community-policing strategies, and use them to rebuild the Camden police force from the ground up.

And we saw some pretty incredible results, friend. We had an almost 50% reduction in crime, and our murder rate dropped by almost 70%. And -- more importantly -- the people of Camden felt safer. Officers became a part of the community instead of existing as an outside force, knocking on their neighbors' doors to get to know them and reading books to young children in local schools.

Watch this short interview with Donald today to learn more about these successful policing reform efforts in South Jersey:

The first step is to admit the problem. Then, it's critical we continue to bring people together and find the reform models that work. Donald says it best: we must push the envelope and continually reassess effectiveness to avoid sliding back into old, harmful patterns.

And -- most importantly -- we must continue to listen to the communities we serve.

We have a long road ahead of us -- but these kinds of community-centered policing reforms are a great place to start. And it's not just policy change on the local level that we need. Donald will continue fighting for federal solutions like the Justice in Policing Act to save Black lives, reinvest in educational and economic opportunities for underserved communities, and keep our communities safer.
