Golly, around here we have one police officer for ever 500-600 people. And, that includes babies and elderly people in the retirement center.
Yeah, my town is kinda the same way. But I live in a small town that try's to act like a big town, so I guess that's typical for the number of police ;-)
The point really is that your chances of getting away with a crime is really good because there are so few officers compared to people. Though a local police force might have, say, 200 members, you have to take into account that a lot of those are off-duty, sitting behind a desk, at court, at training, in the evidence room, working security at some event, or working in some other ancillary role. They're all important, though not always available.
