Whitman Park is a crime and drug-infested neighborhood. However, businesses have started to move into Whitman Park in recent years.[2][why?] Due to high crime and murder rates, police have installed gunshot-recording microphones in Whitman Park.[3] In 2015, the city of Camden submitted a redevelopment plan for the neighborhood.[4] It is home to a substantial Polish American community, centered around the St. Joseph's Church.[5]
