Patrol Base Density and Proximity - Too many and too close?

[slapout9]

I would disagree with this one on the LE front - the NYPD employs the "flood-the-zone" tactic regularly and adjusts its deployments on a precinct level with Compstat. Despite some obvious gaming that has to light, overall as a longtime resident of NYC I would argue that the NYPD's tactics are overall quite effective as a deterrent to street violence and open-air drug markets.

But that tactic is based on Intelligence ,that is what is what makes them effective. Not a magic force to space ratio.
