The anti-crime group Guardian Angels said Thursday that it will send members to Camden just before police layoffs take effect.
The group says 40 members from New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania will arrive in Camden on Sunday.
Facing a budget crunch, the city expects to lay off up to one-fourth the government work force, effective Tuesday.
About half the 370-member police force could be laid off, though the exact number will depend on whether police unions accept concessions.
