In this Tuesday, April 22, 2014 photograph, employees look closely at a live video in the command center of the Camden County Metro police in Camden, N.J. The New Jersey city near Philadelphia officially disbanded its police department on May 1 and handed patrols over to the new Camden County-run department that promised more officers for the same cost, largely because it could shed provisions of a union contract that officials saw as onerous. The Camden County Metro police patrol only in Camden, not its suburbs. Clerical, analytical and crime-scene processing jobs once done by gun-carrying sworn officers were given to civilians, and most of the cops were put on beats on the street. (AP Photo/Mel Evans)
