  1. Well with police work its cost. Something like a SWAT team is expensive to train and equip, and just having them sit around waiting for a high risk warrant, or a barricaded gunman, is not cost effective, so in most departments they tend to do regular patrol, or detective duty's till they are needed.
  2. Makes sense, does'nt it?
    Besides Government has to be able to put some money in their own pockets.
  4. Don't know how it is in your country, but here in the states, public safety is one of the few functions of the gov both conservatives, and liberals will agree on, yet whenever budgets get cut, police, and fire protection tend to be the first thing to go regardless of who is in office at the time. Personally I'd say it should be the last thing.
  5. No here we are opposite which is good I must say,
    they scrape money together for an even bigger force atm
    because of mainly protest squads/gate crashed parties/city brawls here there and everywhere.
    Its got really bad here, always a stabbing, bashing, knifing or glassing in the face at popular venues and not just once but a few cases, aside from car chases
  6. Crime in the states depends on where you live. Up here in the north country, most crime is either booze, or casual drug related. Usually domestic assaults, or criminal sexual conduct. Gotta alert though. There not common by any means, but there are high speed chases, and shootings up here.
  7. Shootings is pretty scary, like stabbings over here.
  8. We have a problem of young ones walking the streets in groups and
    mugging,bashing loner victims almost to death, so its not safe anymore(if your wise) to be alone leaving trainstations/pubs/streets at night

  9. Pretty uncommon here. More likely to get shot in a hunting accident in this region than any other way.

    Sounds like some of the bigger city's here. Bystanders don't want to be involved.
  11. Murders are also more frequent now too, for various reasons
  12. Violent crime rate has been dropping in the U.S. since like the late 80s.
