About those numbers..take the 53 officers..assume 5 senior commanders...then assume another 10 officers are either on vacation, medical leave, or court ( likely more)..that’s 38 left..so..on a 3 shift basis..that’s about 12-13 on duty at any one time...figure about 3-4 are stationed at HQ, jail..thus..at any one time..there are likely about 10 officers out on patrol...for a city of 20,000. That’s how you measure, and assess..manpower
That would be residents, for those of you speaking English.
