And, that is a capable looking bunch!
Out here in 'the sticks', we have a hard time finding ANYONE to fill law enforcement positions. Pay isn't great, distances are great, and while things requiring law enforcement aren't frequent, they can be pretty sad and hard to deal with in places where everyone knows everyone. When someone makes a serious mistake, it hurts lots of people who aren't directly involved.........and/or angers them!
Then there are the accidents and injuries, to often involving people the officers know......or are related to. It can be awfully quiet, making it harder to justify necessary equipment and man-power......or as during storms......much more work than manpower available.
I could almost envy you George, for that fine group to help protect the citizens, but sure wouldn't want your high population density required to support it!
