one example that is frequently cited is the camden county police force in newjersey.omson led those changes and spoke to the bbc earlier. well i'm very concerned. there are particularly some of the clips that are getting a lot of attention. the police office rs lot of attention. the police officers in atlanta tased inside the car some of the scenes of squad car is running people over, i'll be at we still don't have all the facts of the situations but on the surface in and of themselves, it's very disturbing. it really starts with changing the culture within organizations. what we did in camden, we started with policy but cultural eat policy for breakfast. if you don't have the training and the levels of accountability to ensure people are doing what they're supposed to be doing. we have scheduled we will be back with the next edition of outside source in half an hour's time. good evening. it has been a different weather story to tell today. a different feel to our weather as well. this was melton mowbray a little earlier on, and you can just about make out the shower

this is what cracking down on crime looks like in camden, newjersey. all right! here we go!hington dc, camden was infamous as america‘s poorest and most crime ridden city. now it‘s gaining national attention for the way it‘s rethinking policing. in 2013, the city‘s police department was disbanded. one of the officials that led the county takeover was lou cappelli. he said it took bipartisan cooperation, perseverance and a willingness to go to battle with the police unions. oh, it was a big fight. and we were told all along, until the day this happened, "you‘re not going to be able to do this, we are going to stop you in court." they had political... trying to get political support, people coming to our meetings, death threats. camden has rejected the tough on crime law and order approach that has disproportionately affected black americans, changing not just its policies but its culture too. and as a result, the city is experiencing its lowest crime rate in 50 years. i try to, you know, get through this uniform... captain zsakhiem james was hired back onto the new force. as
