Very generally speaking, police officers can't be everywhere all the time. Most crime happens when a cop is not around. In my city, there are over 600,000 residents, but only about 2000 police officers. Many of that 2000 are non-patrol officers (field supervisors and other supervisory officers that don't go out and patrol the city), so at any given time, there are only a few hundred officers on the street.
Another way to say is, even though it sounds a little cliche is, police normally show up after a crime has been committed. They are not usually there ahead of time to stop the crime.

Why cant you expecting the police alone to reduce crime?
The simple answer is - because it's not just their job !The primary role of the police - is to uphold the law of the land, detect and preserve evidence after a crime has been committed, and offer advice where necessary on ways to reduce a persons vulnerability to being a victim of crime. Everyone - no matter what country they live in - has a moral obligationto (a) abide by the rules and laws set out in statute (b) help to reduce crime in their area - by being vigilant and aware of possible weak-points and (c) reporting anything suspicious to the authorities.It's no use moaning about high crime rates - if a person cant be bothered to report crimes when they happen ! If people expect the police alone to reduce crime - the only way would be to put an officer on EVERY street corner in the country - which is practically, financially and logistically impossible !
