Why can't we expect police alone to reduce crime?
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 is it important for police officers to carry tourniquets?
Police officers are at a high risk of sustaining gunshot or stab wounds to their extremities. Arterial blood loss can result in unconsciousness within minutes and death shortly thereafter. Often, police officers work alone and in areas where emergency medical response can be delayed. As a result, many police officers carry specialized tourniquets developed for the U.S. military that can be applied with one hand in order to stop blood loss quickly and allow the officer to survive long enough to reach emergency medical care.
May a Police officers arrest someone if they have a gut feeling that the person is guilty of a criminal offense?
Police officers are generally required to have reasonable grounds to believe that a person has committed a crime before making an arrest. A "gut feeling" alone may not be sufficient unless it is based on observable facts, behaviors, or other reasonable evidence. Police officers are trained to follow proper procedures and adhere to legal standards when making arrests.
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 !
