Depends on the number of people living in the area. A larger town/city would need more than a smaller one. Some places need more but because of budget have cut back on jobs.

What is polic?

Q. What is police "POLICE" is a public servant sworn to hold the line between order and dis order. Police sever in a City/town/Park/VA Hospitals/Borders. The term means they are charged with enforcing the laws made by the public. The Badge is their symbol of public trust. Each State creates the laws saying who in the state are Police also know as "Peace Officers". Deputy Sheriff are Peace Officers and most State officers are Peace Officers. The Federal Government has Park Police, VA Hospital Police. But the term Peace Officer becomes gray along the Federal line. The F.B.I. are Police Officers, ICE are Police Officers, CBP are Police Officers, Border Patrol are Police Officers also are the National Park Police. If you are not sure just ask the officer.

Are the police in on gangstalking?

I have been and am a victim of gangstalking. And yes, there are police officers who will engage in gangstalking. I have experienced it myself. Fortunately, within the past couple years in my home town, two police officers of high ranking were demoted for making horrible and disparaging racist remarks in two local newspapers. Also, the narcotics cops were caught doing drugs from the evidence room, stealing money and spending a lot of time at the casinos on city time. I believe this public exposure, demotion of the officers and subsequent hirings have had a chilling effect on police officers who would participate in gangstalking. To reiterate, yes, police have engaged in gangstalking. They are just people. Why wouldn't they.


Are police officers firefighters?

No, Firefighters actually fight fires, and Police Officers fight crime.However! -In some municipalities (towns) in America, these professions are performed by people that are cross-trained. In fact, one town that I know of has their city employees trained as Police, Fire, AND Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs are ambulance-riding first-responders) that work three 24-hour shifts per week. So for the first eight hours of their shift, they are Police Officers. The second eight hours they are Firefighters, and the third eight hours of their shift, they are EMTs. Then they get 24 hours off.


When was Suffolk police force created?

The Sheriff of Nansemond County was in charge of policing Suffolk, as well as Nansemond County, until 1858. In 1858, Suffolk was granted a charter and the first town sergeant was elected. After 1910, the town sergeant would be called Chief of Police. The sheriff would still be in charge of Nansemond County law enforcement until October 1970, when the Nansemond County Police Department was founded. The City of Suffolk Police Department and the Nansemond County Police Department merged in January 1974. The sheriff and the town sergeant were both elected officers.


How many police officers should a town with a population of 4800 have in a Georgia city?

Here is a ratio table of Citizens to Police for 4800 people.4800:12400:21600:31200:4960:5800:6686:7600:8533:9480:10So, one would realistically understand that not everyone would be calling 9-1-1 at the same time. So a community of 4800 people could suffice with 5-10 officers. However, areas with higher crime rates need more Policing, be it community policing or law enforcement policing.
