When my daughter and her high school friends were robbed a decade ago (most likely by an illegal alien), it took the state police more than 90 minutes to show up at a friend's house less than two minutes off the PA turnpike.

While the state police officer assigned to her case was nice and polite (and had her make several trips to the local police barracks to go through mug books before they closed the case), the point was clear:

PA State Police were too busy to respond quickly to crimes which were unlikely to produce revenue for the state. However, they have plenty of time to pull people over on minor traffic violations which produce fine revenue.

A friend of mine lives literally right next door to a PA State Police barracks. Well, one day he comes home from work to find his back door wide open. So he runs over to the barracks for help. “Call the township police” says one of the troopers.
