 Is it a challenge to police people that you've known pretty much all your life, or does it give you an advantage? My experiences growing up here in the city have benefited me in my career. I always say if the streets can give out degrees, I would have a doctorate. Chief Rodriguez says he's seen it all, the worst and the best of his city. I grew up in one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in Camden City. I have many friends that I grew up with that have died on the streets of Camden.
