I wouldn't call what Camden NJ did abolition, I doubt many would

i don't even know what you're talking about so i couldn't really comment
it's pretty much my best guess at how to fix at least some of the problems: www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
so firing and then rehiring in the most literal sense, then, i thought something else was going on here
yeah the other big thing they did was disincorporate the city’s police department and instead make it subject to the county committee’s jurisdiction, which did help a bit because the camden city government is comically corrupt
They were going to have all the cops in Camden County be part of the new County Police, but the other cities wouldn't cooperate. So it was in effect a one for one replacement in terms of the agency jurisdiction. Still a good model IMO, if the state can replace a bad local force.
