Vivian Coley Accepts Game Changer Award: 2025 Women of Excellence

It really does take a village, and Vivian Coley, a Captain in the Camden County Police Department, is taking the concept to a new level.⁠ ⁠

Vivian heads the department’s Village Initiative, which takes a community relationship approach to keeping Camden’s residents safe. The initiative started with curfew nights, where officers would patrol the streets between 10 pm and 6 am, and pick up anyone under 18 who was breaking curfew. But there were no handcuffs involved, just a ride back to the station where a guardian was called for a ride home.
