Patrolman Peter Yecco received the Camden Police Department's Distinguished Service Award for a Delaware River rescue; among 16 officers commended was Sergeant Earl Wright.

Camden Public Safety Commissioner Mary W. Kobus announced in December 1940 that her appointment of 22 patrolmen and 10 firemen had restored the public safety department to 1938 strength, and said she would seek money for more officers because of defense needs; John Gryckiewicz of 810 North Front Street was among the fire appointees.
