Not bad -- one officer for every 134 residents. Must be the safest village in Wisconsin.

Yes, but police officers don't work 24/7. They have to sleep, same as anyone else.

How many on active duty at any one time? A third at most?

That is true, and a couple to cover days off.

They don’t need 3 cops a shift.

24 x 7 = 168, so four 40 hour shifts of 2 officers, sometimes 3 at busy periods, plus a supervisor.

It would be much more efficient to have the county sheriff take over.

A lot of small towns have a full time police chief and any number of part time officers.

A village close to me had a chief and one full time officer and a number of part timers.
