How many cops per 10,000 people is normal?

depends what kind of town it is. is it a huge rural area, or suburban, or dense metro area?

EDIT: also depends on how much crime there is, go figure.
 
you also have to play the robocop factor.



...i would say one cop per human being is exactly how a machine i mean person would think..
 
I'd say the highest cop to citizen ratios are probably in the rural areas where if you even have one cop in the town and the town has like 10 people....
 
There's 13 patrol officers here and the town is like 10,000 people...it seemed a bit high to me since I only spend 5 minutes a day round trip driving in and out of here and every 3rd day I see a cop. I also always see 3 or 4 parked at the burger king parking lot in the evenings.

In the city I used to live in of about 40,000 people you could drive around a lot of the time and never see a cop. I think the ratio there was 44 to 40,000.



 
when i was a cj student, i think instructors said 1.2 officers per 1000 people was reccommended, or somethin like that.
