henlo hi how do i make a police force????

what do police do????

what are ranks????

how do police do the police job????

how does a state have a police????

help my family is starving??????

1. Make a factbook in YN entitled Police of Husseinarti or similar

2. depends on country but enforcing the criminal law, responding to emergencies, investigating crime, protecting public safety and arresting suspected criminals are usual functions.
Providing directions to tourists as well as general help to members of the public and/or enforcing the political, racist or class system are also potential functions.

3. Ranks are titles of police officer granting them the power to tell other police officers what to do

4. This depends on country.
In some countries such as Finland, Sweden and France they are given a lot of training and education doing their job with their brains.
In some such as Britain policing by consent involving social skills is common, trying to persuade people to obey the law rather than use force.
In some police officers rely on brute force such as Pakistan and India.

5. The Government set one up.

6. Most societies have a welfare system

What are the general advantages of European (example: classical) architecture compared to that of East Asia? I know Japanese and Chinese traditional architectural designs tend to be very well adapted for the natural disasters that plague these countries, but I’m not sure what traditional European designs have going for them besides aesthetic.

Motivating power. Asian architecture in general is pretty enough that you just want to stay at home and admire it. European architecture by contrast has for most of our history (some few periods excluded) been so boring and drab that it motivated Europeans to march out and conquer the world just so that we could have something nicer over our heads.

Versilians tend to be the inwards perfection type. Splendid isolation and all that stuff, with only a bit of conquering and colonising. One must perfect the world gradually, after all.

I get what you mean tho lol.

Given how widely architecture varied between areas within those regions and over time, it is impossible to generalize.

Would Special Branch's methods change if their focus was on British far-right terrorism?

True, I forgot about that. I am primarily referring to Greco-Roman and Western European/English Renaissance era architecture.

What percentage of the population should be able to live off of stocks for their whole lives? 5%? 1%?

[Gallia-]

None. An all stock portfolio would be destroyed every decade or so.

Anyway, would 135 police officers across three shifts be enough for a single district with roughly 11000 residents? Or would I need additional officers for the precinct? I was only able to build beat groups and detective teams, are there other components of a precinct that I should be aware of?

[Triplebaconation]

That's three or four times too many.

[New Visayan Islands]

That's three or four times too many.

Even when you account for said cops being rotated based on schedules? This is just the beat: 30 people in a single shift. Add an additional 10 for detectives and five for the shift's command staff; that's 45 in a single shift, and there are three shifts.

My hometown has 14,000 people and some 28 cops total. That's including people like the chief of police. I think it goes up to around 32 if we include the civilian clerks who assist with data entry and stuff. There is a smaller town a few miles up the road with 11 officers (9 patrol officers) and about half as many people.

A normal, decent ratio per 1,000 people of officers for a small town in a developed country, like the United States, is anywhere from 2-4.

135 officers for a town of 11,000 makes me think there is a military garrison patrolling the streets and enforcing curfews. I guess this would work under a severe martial law scenario.

I was thinking of something a little larger a la NYPD in terms of precinct size; this is just a single district in a city of (all numbers in-universe, not IRL) roughly 750000; the police department also has jurisdiction over two towns: Dauis with roughly 115000 and Panglao with roughly 85000.

[Ideal Britain]

Would it be realistic in a Mounted Unit to have an Inspector command 15 police officers, a Sergeant command 5 police officers and a Chief Inspector command 60 police officers?

135 officers for 11,000 people would be a heavily patrolled ghetto in a major city.

Are you trying to outdo the Lodz Ghetto or something?

No, which is why I was wondering how many cops would be enough for a precinct even when accounting for rotations in schedule and stuff.

This is with three shifts, presumably.

Police forces generally scale according to population size, so regardless of the physical size or density of the precinct, you'll have a similar number of officers relative to the number of residents. This isn't surprising given that populations also correlate to tax bases (and therefore police funding) as well as total crime rate, so unless this precinct is particularly dangerous and warrants additional officers, 2-4 per thousand will be the norm. NYPD has 4.2 officers per 1,000 residents and this is the fifth-highest rate in the country.

This is modelled on the idea of making them similar to cavalry

I see. Guess it's back to the drafting board for building the precinct.

Are there any countries where most women marry before the age of 18?

[Purpelia]

Are there any countries where most women marry before the age of 18?

Most of the world. It's really only in relatively rich places that the age of marriage shifts forward as people in general and women in specific spend years and decades wasting their lives on education and carriers before breeding.
