Hiring more police officers is like taking asprin for a brain tumor- "It may make you feel a little better and take away the headache temporarily, but it won't cure the ailment." Until the citizens of this or any country start making vast strides in taking responsibility for their own actions, raising their children to respect others and with respect, and taking a stand against the people who are breaking the law by alerting the police while crime is happening, then forget it. The Police can't fight crime alone, they need every citzen to back them up. But look around, that's not going to happen. In todays world, the criminal is the hero and the citizen calling police is the bad guy. What a shame.

Do we need more Police!?, the ones already on board are under-trained, and ill-prepared to deal with today's "Public". What's needed is better quality training, and at the very least, a 6-month study of psychology, and "Anger Management". Police officers today receive minimal training and have even less control of their people skills. They bring their anger to work and vent it on the Public at Large. No, at this time my position would be to focus on better training and dealing with the public. Alot of the Officers today deem themselves above the normal society of today and instead of earning the Public Trust, attempt to "Demand" something they haven't EARNED!!.

Some cities and areas definitely need more police, others don't.

I sincerely don't think so...we have so many police as it is they don't know what to do! So they drive around, and hand out traffic tickets to docile, non-dangerous citizens, so that the revenue can help compensate their massive budget.

If we do they need to be mentally assessed better, and to be above 5'6. Short cops automatically want to take people to the ground-they have issues!
