Sure there are departments separate from the city that handle their townships. But I believe that 5.8 million could be within city limits at any given time. Oh, and by the way, of those 6500 officers, maybe 1/3 of them are actually on duty at any given time. And that includes cops that work in special units, inside offices or at the academy, impound lots, etc. Not all just serving the public directly. What's that put your ratio at now?

Now put the same logic to nyc.
