tonight it should be 3 deputies for 2,436 sq miles.
there may or may not be a state trooper or two on i5 or hwy 12. the two cities have a few cops. |

In Glendale, AZ, police presence is almost nonexistent in the north side of town. On the off chance a patrol or traffic unit is seen, the current approach to policing seems to be smile and wave.

Live in a town of 3k. About a mile and a half square. Have a constant patrolling pd. Town adjoining the same and back each other. I am about .5 miles out of town so its state cops and sherrifs dept for me. Nephew is a state cop in my county though.

The couple of times I've needed LEO have been after midnight and they were 45 minutes out. The first time called an off duty that was a relative and he was there in 10. The second time no deputies available and dispatch seemed shocked when I asked for state police.

52 square miles with 276k residents. 12 on patrol per shift. 4 on the east side and 5 on the west with 3 roving. Not nearly enough but that doesn’t include detectives and specialized groups.

City police and County sheriff, both. I see them around all the time. I have had few interactions, but the few I've had have been generally positive. This is a conservative area, so the LEOs probably feel more appreciated here than in many places. That makes a difference.

Seems like they're everywhere in my town and the county has a SWAT and entry team that is used by other agencies in the area.
There are at least 3 cops and a park ranger that live in my subdivision. |

I think we have eight city cops and some rotate from L48.
At least twelve state troopers in the station here. Most villages have no cops or just one village police safety officer. They do not carry handguns. |

One of the largest counties in the state. We have 2 staters for the county. City of 25k. I see a city or county cop maybe once a month unless there is anything extra exciting happening like the murder last week.
The state has gone to shit with all the commie liberal legislation. |

If I call in an in-progress priority call right now I’d probably have at least 3 deputies here within 5 minutes, absent something big going on elsewhere. They tend to hang out not far away and have a substation within 2 miles.
Of course I’m already on-scene, so zero second response time. |

Here about 7 deputies for the country. Maybe an extra. 2 troopers normally. Fire is volunteer, paid guy mon to fri. EMS is a good 30 min out here.
The small towns are the same, except for the ones that kept their PD. They have normally 2 a shift when I worked, 1 after say 2am. Anything after that, the lone PD guy gets called even if they page others. Never understood why. |

Total of 12 dudes for the entire county. Four of them are command staff/admin.
If you need something from them, good fuckin' luck, it takes three weeks to get someone to answer the damn phone, don't expect a call back, and don't bother swinging by the town's police station, municipal building, court house, library, hair care, and tire center. There's either no one there, or they just can't help you. You're better off staking out the local convenience store or dunkin donuts if you want to get ahold of one of them in a timely manner. But at least twice a month, every damn one of them is out around town giving out tickets, even the chief. |

My township has six officers. Two full time and one is the Chief, the other four are part-time guys. It use to be one guy named Bud with his six shooter.
Only two are on duty at a time and we have no overnight patrols. They cover the entire township which is approx 130 square miles not including waterways. The Sheriff's Dept is approx 30 miles away and they only have one or two patrol vehicles doing overnight patrols and that is for the entire county. The state police only come to town in the summer and during deer season to give out speeding tickets or other some BS ticket. We are pretty much on our own if something happens but thankfully not a hell of a lot ever does. |

I live in the woods. So I never see them here unless they are hanging out ( former deputy myself ) But in my town of 3k there are maybe 2 deputies on duty in the evenings, and double that in the day that would even venture out my way. Which is rare.

They come when called. But they mostly patrol our town center, and the wealthier areas of our 'burb. I get the feeling that if a couple of serious events happened at the same time, they'd need a lot of mutual assistance.

We’re at maybe 60% staffing. If you have a shooting we’ll be there but otherwise you’ll be waiting a bit. Some calls we just don’t get to. It’s gotten worse and I expect it to get worse for awhile.

We couldn’t get away with what you have. The call volume is to just high.
With that said, you have between 2 and 4 deputies available responding to 911 calls. It’s scary and I can’t retire soon enough |

County is a bit over 400 square miles, usually has two or three deputies on. (I used to work for the SO, response times ranged from decent to atrocious, based on where the deputy would be coming from) Nearby village probably has an officer on, maybe not 24/7, but close. I'm about halfway in between two cities that have a handful of officers on any shift.

Carroll county Md, probably 4 or 5 sherrifs, one or two state boys with in 20-25 mins. If serious enough 5 to 10 mins until someone gets here, probably have several in 15 mins.
Enough that they have a presence but not enough to be a problem. |

Where I used to live about 25 minutes up the highway, I’d see about 1 cop a month. Scared me pretty good one day when I went flying around a corner doing 75 in a 35 and there was city pd going the other direction. Where I live now if I don’t see at least one city pd every day I’m not sure what’s going on. My current town has this place on lock down from the typical Bay Area riff raff

Similar to yours at night, but my buddy is dayshift and he says their manpower doesn't change much during the day.
I'm thankful that I now live in a place where I have reliable neighbors, and we depend on each other. Edit: buddy is a deputy sheriff, and lives about a mile away. He's an arfcommer and we understand that we both live in a place where not depending on an LE agency is key. |

Honestly have no idea. Our small town PD was disbanded due to too many shenanigans and good 'ol boy nonsense. Town contracted with the county SD for LEO services and absorbed some of the PD personnel and gear. This allowed the SD to cherry pick the good cops and get rid of the troublemakers as I understand it. All the town PD vehicles got re-badged as SD.
We see SD vehicles around town, but I have no idea how many are on patrol at any given hour. We live outside of the town proper, in "the county". My wife and I already expect that we will have to handle any situation ourselves until LE can show up. |

2-3 deputies for the whole county. One of the largest and rural in Virginia. I can expect if I called the cops right now a minimum of 30-45 minute response but possibly much longer.
I have had the alarm go off at our business with no response multiple times. It is what it is. |
