@pinkkyywells7299 bingo. crime in progress is priority, along with violence or intervention. OC cops actually have down time to do other stuff probably. I lived in Long Beach, more dense, more poverty thus more crime. Here in OC a cop could literally be at your house in 5-10 minutes cuz there's less crime.

@cwang9915 that's a huge over-simplification of a very complex issue. the cities in Orange County are mostly suburban utopia's compared to the packed and diverse metropolitan areas. I've lived in quite a few different places and wealthier areas means less crime (at least the petty or violent stuff you need a cop for). Low level crime as you think of it mostly originates out of lack of resources or access to resources that are more scarce due to the increased competition for those resources or amenities. The real criminals of this world usually go uncaught or unpunished. Petty criminals that tail a car home from shopping are being pushed out to these areas because there is a monopoly on crime in their metropolises. Cities. Gangs. Petty crime. "A metropolitan area or metro is a region consisting of a densely populated urban agglomeration and its surrounding territories sharing industries, commercial areas, transport network, infrastructures and housing" and has a greater diversity of individuals spanning a wider distance on the spectrum of race, class, and socioeconomic standing. Funding is better in nicer areas too.
