There can be a deterrent effect in very specific situations. At crowded public events, like a parade, a police presence can lower crime at that event. Sometimes. But otherwise, police donโ€™t work like that.

I tend to agree completely.

Yeah sorry it sounded like I was correcting you, but I meant to say I agree with you too.
