"NYC has about 40,000 uniformed officers. That's right:"

Wrong. Oops.

In 2001, the last year for which I have exact numbers straight from the horses mouth the number is 40,710. I doubt it has changed by more than 10% either way since.

Plus, at $100,000 per solved crime where robberies are worth about $1000 on average, how far off do I have to be before it makes a material difference in that aboslutely abysmal performance?
