looking for a place where residents could easily give their feedback to the department.
At the sites launch, Mignogna
said the Voorhees Township Police Department was the finest in
South Jersey and encouraged old
and young residents to check out
the site.
It is now easier than ever to
become more familiar with our

officer. The academy also gave the participants who have dreams of becoming a police officer a taste of police life. We look forward to another successful Junior Police
Academy in the summer of 2015.
On July 16, honored members of our police department traveled to New York City
to retrieve an artifact from the World
Trade Center to pay tribute to the victims
of the Sept. 11, 2001, attack as part of the
Memorial Garden Project at our police
headquarters. The artifact was given proper respect by being transported back to
Voorhees by an entourage of police cars
and, with the help of the Voorhees Township Fire Department, an American flag
hung high over the entrance to the police
headquarters as the artifact arrived.
In 2015, Police Chief Lou Bordi will oversee the building of the Memorial Garden

When the artifact arrived at police headquarters, a American

In addition to the artifact, Police Chief Lou Bordi has also

centerpieces in the memorial.
Year of progress in
Camden County
By Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli, Jr.
The
Freeholder
Board made 2014 a
productive year in
Camden County. We
accomplished
numerous goals, made
prudent investments
in our community
and continue to
move forward on a
bold plan to enhance
public safety for our residents. Moving into 2015, Id like to reflect on
some of the accomplishments weve
made in the past year. Below are
some highlights:
Camden County Police Department
Moving into our 20th month of operation we have seen a significant
decrease in crime. In 2014, there
were 1,600 less victims of crime on
the streets of Camden City compared to just two years ago. We have
cut homicides in half from 2012,
shootings declined by 46 percent
and dropped all violent crime by
more than 20 percent. We have stabilized neighborhoods and dispatched many of the open-air drug
markets plaguing the city.
Furthermore, one of the most identifiable indicators of the reduction
of crime is the presence of kids in
the parks and playing in the streets
again. This, in itself, is what every
child in Camden County should
have the opportunity to do and we
are returning that inalienable right
to the families that live in the city.
Opioid Addiction Awareness Task
Force
The county took a big step forward
this year by commissioning an addiction awareness task force to fight
the scourge of opioid addiction in
our community. This group is represented by a variety of organizations
and officials that are affected by, or
work within opioid treatment. Our
goal is to wipe away the stigma of
addiction and bring this important
conversation to the forefront for the

2014 elections
The 2014 elections were held
for town committee and Voorhees
board of education and it was the
year of incumbents, as Mignogna
and Platt won re-election, along
with Voorhees Township Board of
Education members Bruce Karpf
and Richard Nelson.
One new member of the board
of education was chosen with the
election of Marissa Levy, filling
the seat of a board member who
chose not to run again.
Of his re-election, Mignogna
said when he heard the election
results, he was both pleased and
humbled, and he worked very
hard for the residents of
Voorhees and would welcome the
opportunity to serve the community for another three years.
One of the greatest challenges
in any election is trying to make
personal contact with as many
residents as possible, Mignogna
