My question is: why does a governing region of 822 have 6 police officers??? That’s insane. Typical ratios in big cities are 20 or 30 cops for every 10,000 residents. Something is fishy….
That math is the problem that every small community faces when deciding whether to have a police force.
There are 168 hours in a week. Thus, if you want to avoid a bunch of overtime, that is a minimum of four cops, and that doesn't cover vacation or sick time or anything like that.
