Today uniformed, organized and dis
cipi.nsd police force for systematic pa-
troll OF the streets exists not only in all
large urban cenfers OK the world but also
in every considerable town in Europe and
America The Londun force ofIieoe con-
other large cities follow in the order of
their popuiatton-New York, : 5ae: Paris,
DO: Berlin. 400, Vienna, s41s: Chicago
S,@n These are not only the largest In
total number Of rpen. bat In each case
they represent the largest number OF po-
Ecemen in proportion to population. as
compared with other towns In the same
country. In general. IL may be said that
within any one country, the larger ,he
town, the larger the ratio OF policemen
to population. Thus, tn the United States
and Great Britain, municipalities of from
ieo 60 to 10000 population usually have
about ten policemen to each 10 Go inhabi-
tants. and In Germany from eight TO nine
per 10000. In centers of about 500 900
near fifteen policemen 10 each 1900:
while New York has twenty. Londen TWEEN
ty-foar, Berlin twenty-five and Paris
twenfy-eight 10 each 1900 inhabitants
The rule that the ratio of policemen TO
population increases with the size of the
urban center is true only within each
country. Some cites of the second and
third population rank possess the greatest
propor,ionate number of policemen Rio
de Janeiro, with a population of 100. COO
had in 1s92 a police force of over 900 men
equal 10 S6.5 for every in.(0o inha bitants
