Police in Camden County have been issuing more traffic tickets than other South Jersey regions, according to data from the New Jersey Judiciary .
With several main roads leading across New Jersey and into one of the country's most populous cities, officers in Camden handed out approximately 129,496 moving violations between June 2023 and July 2024. Approximately 30,000 fewer tickets were issued in neighboring Burlington County.
These data from New Jersey Courts, which includes municipal and county totals , show a statewide total of nearly 1.88 million tickets were written in the Garden State, a 4% drop from the previous year. These numbers do not include parking tickets or driving while intoxicated arrests.
