I understand why. Local city governments are strapped for cash, and cutting back on police. This is exactly what's happened in my small home town here. We used to have a massive police presence. Now, not so much.

We had one single Sheriff, who was let go last year. Our closest police station is about 30 minutes away. My neighbor is a State Police Lieutenant for the county below us which is nice but there isn't much he's going to do in the event of an emergency. I live in the sticks but I still like to protect myself. Crazy shit can happen anywhere.
