Come to the town I currently live in. NO LESS than 2 cruisers at every stop I have every seen. 3 is very, very common, even for little old people, anybody. Often as many as 4-5, and usually a K-9 comes by at some point, probably for intimidation...
All these personnel are obviously trying to justify their existence on the public payroll not to mention loony retirement packages/salaries in most locales. The police do it too..... then they turn around and snark they are too busy to coordinate with the ICE to deal with illegal aliens
Nationwide all police, firefighters, emergency personal were given carte blanche on salaries and pensions due to 911 and all the justifiable paranoia that followed it. 220 or so firemen were killed
