Across the board, 2019's overall crime numbers were down from 2017's, except for 2 more murders, which were still less than half of 2012 and 2013's totals.
The more recent article notes though that the Camden force got much bigger, contradicting the first article:

In the immediate, the shift meant the hiring of more officers, and thus a heavier presence in local neighborhoods. That year the force went from 268 officers to 418.
Today, that figure rounds out at about the same.
