San Jose, California has some wild numbers perhaps like that.

Would you take more if you could? Assuming no reform, just more of the same.

I think higher numbers would lead to reform on its own. When you're scraping by at the bare minimum, a lot of stuff gets overlooked just to maintain numbers.

More cops would make it a lot easier to have better standards, and raise the average competency level.
