I believe there is a strong correlation between the 2 parameters you have presented. Assuming the police is doing its job properly (which is not always the case) the crime rate should decrease along with the inclinement of the force's quantity.

A good example will be in the world cup games where there is a very big police force to handle all the people.. one can testify that the crime rate stays significantly low due to the presence of the police in that area

Crime could also be low during the world cup due to the fact that everyone simply watch the games

Dumb Thief with Neck Tattoo Showing his...

A thief who broke into a police surveillance vehicle was arrested after officers spotted a prominent neck tattoo emblazoned with his surname and date of birth. Dim-witted Aaron Evans, 21, was filmed breaking into the Peugeot 106, which was planted in a car park, and stealing a satellite navigation device. Not only did Evans not spot the covert camera filming his every move, but he also provided police with an extreme close-up of the incriminating tattoo, which reads 'Evans 19.9.87' He was jailed for seven months today after he pleaded guilty to theft and asked for ten other offences to be taken into consideration. Magistrates in Bristol heard Evans, who cannot read or write, went to an NCP car park in the city on August 13 following an argument with his father. He broke the passenger window of the Peugeot 106 , which had been set up to catch opportunistic thieves, after spotting the Â70 sat-nav device on full display. Amused officers watched the video playback and arrested Evans on September 4. Bristol Magistrates Court heard Evans, who has a one-month-old baby, was a persistent criminal who has been in and out of prison for the past four years. Magistrate Susan Snaddon sentenced Evans, from Lockleaze, Bristol, to a total of 28 weeks in prison. She said: 'These offences are so serious only a custodial sentence is appropriate.'

Blast in Pakistani Capital

STORY: This is the scene of the latest bombing in Islamabad. Tangled mettle and rubble is all that is left of this police headquarters. The bomber managed to breach the security cordon and gain access to the building. Police said the attacker was carrying two baskets of sweets. He presented one to a policeman, and detonated the bomb. Islamabad's chief of police wants to know how security was breached. [Asghar Raza Gardazi, Chief of Police]: "There are three injured people. There are many questions which we want to find out - how did the vehicle have ingress inside? Because we have (given) instructions to them that all the vehicles should be parked outside. There was a parking (lot) made outside the police lines for that purpose. We have yet to see how did it have ingress." The number of casualties is low, as most of the police were on patrol close to the parliament building, where the newly appointed intelligence chief was briefing the government on security issues. But the blast comes at a time when security forces in the country are on high alert. More attacks are feared as Pakistan intensifies its offensive on militants in the tribal areas bordering Afghanistan.

DNA Swab Offered at Mugs and Hugs

For those kids not at the music festival, you might have found them at the Dakota Square Mall with thier parents. Hundreds lined up to take part in this year's Hugs and Mugs campaign. Kids were able to get their pictures taken, be finger printed and weighed. Losing a child is a parents worst nightmare, by taking part in Hugs and Mugs, parents are able to provide police some help should it happen. This year parents received a DNA swab as well. (Sgt. Margie Zietz, Minot Police Department) We are getting the parents to realize that there is a new technique that we have out there this year, that they are to swab thier child after they get home. A little bit more added feature which is going toto be nice, it is same thing as a finger print it can work sometimes it can not and so the two, the combination of the two is a nice extra security measure for the parents. Sergeant Zietz recommends putting the kit in a safe place, like a safe. She also suggests the program for senior citizens.
