- Nathan Endicott
Considering only policemen and not security personnel or other defense forces
Population of US: 300Mn
Area of US: 9.8 Mn km²
Considering police stations are allocated for a specific area. Considering one police station can cover 2000 km²
Giving total police stations: (9800/2)~5000
Each police station may have 200 policemen (Amin + Patrol + Other duties)
Thus total policemen: (200X5000) 1 Mn Policemen
