The role of the police in society is to maintain public order and safety, to enforce the law, to prevent, detect and investigate crimes.
To carry out these functions effectively police personnel are posted to cities, towns, areas, streets where they are much needed. So what happens if an area has low to zero crime rate? You have little police presence.
Yes, police presence should be everywhere but I am not happy when I see police roadblocks in my neighbourhood. This is because it is a low crime area. The roadblocks are more of a nuisance.
Police posting must be to areas of high crime.
