The Camden County freeholders on Thursday approved a $66,800 raise for Metro Police Chief Scott Thomson, bringing his annual salary to $230,000.
Thomson’s new contract guarantees that he will stay in Camden until at least 2019, county spokesman Dan Keashen said Friday.
“This is about retaining one of the sharpest law enforcement minds in the country,” Keashen said.
No county funds are used for the operation of the Camden County Police Department, which is paid for by Camden City and the state.

Pottstown, PA – On Saturday, April 18, 2015 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Pottsgrove Manor will host a workshop on the basics of weaving linen tape on a box loom.
The class will be taught by Eleanor Bittle, who has been active in preserving local history for many years and continues to participate in the Goschenhoppen Folk Festival each year. She has researched colonial-era tape making for nearly four decades, earning her the nickname of “The Tape Lady.” In this hands-on workshop, Ms. Bittle will explain the history and uses of woven tape and teach the fundamentals of the tape loom: pattern design, warping the loom, and weaving.
This workshop is open to adults and children ages 12 and up. There is a materials fee of $30 per person for the workshop that includes threads, instructions, and lunch. Participants may bring their own (unwarped) tape loom or purchase a cardboard loom for an additional $15 per person. Class size is limited to 10 to ensure individual instruction. Registration and payment are required by March 27, 2015. Please note: Cancellations given before March 27, 2015 will receive a full refund. Cancellations given after March 27, 2015 will not be refunded.
