    Life isnt a Hollywood movie. The police don’t show up at the penultimate moment during the commission of a crime and save the day.

    The police don’t even prevent crime. They show up after a crime has been committed.

    Their main benefit is after that crime has occurred when they write the report for your insurance claim.

      They actually do. I work with them and I’ve seen it on multiple occasions here (not the US). Maybe you should try it.
