Amount of police
Good morning all!
I have some dumb questions. This is all entirely out of curiosity.
Spent most of my life in rural Florida. Moved up here because the wife got a good job offer a few years ago.
Spent a few years in Dutchtown, before moving across the bridge to Ofallon.
One thing I can’t help but keep thinking, whatsup with all the police? Is this some type of personal experience bias or is there really a cop every 100 yards out here? I’ve never seen so many policemen in my life!
Parked all along 70, get off at zumbehl and it literally feels like you’re surrounded! In my experience, it’s mostly quiet out here. So whatsup with the all the presence? Over inflated budget? Too many hires? Nothing to do?
Genuinely just curious! This is new for me. In the city I could barely get help calling 911, but over here it feels like living next to a military base. Is it because the population size?
Thank you for any insight!
Edit: this is Ofallon, MO not Illinois. Sorry if I was confusing with my wording. I hear people reference the bridge by the casino often as “the bridge”
