Obama to visit Camden Monday

President Obama coming to Camden Monday to talk about community policing, White House says.

President Obama will travel to Camden Monday to highlight the county police department's efforts to build trust between officers and the community, the White House said in a statement Thursday.

Camden was recently designated as a "Promise Zone," a program that leverages federal grants to increase economic opportunity, reduce crime and improve public health. The president is expected to discuss the program.

Further details about the visit will be released soon, the statement said. Sources familiar with planning of the visit say that Obama will visit Camden County Police headquarters and will deliver a speech.
