Police only deter crime in their immediate area. I’m talking a radius of feet, not miles. Crime just moves to a different area. They are a less effective deterrent and more expensive than than a good camera system.
Police react to crime afterwards. The main things that prevent crime are money, respect, a sense of purpose, education, etc. A church, a basketball court, or an office building do more to deter crime than a police officer, and are much cheaper.
