THE WORLDS POLICEMEN
LONDON HAS THE LARGEST
FORCE.
Havana Had the Greatest Force to
Number of Inhabitants of Any Place
in the civilized Globe.

Today a uniformed, organized and
disciplined police force for a systemat-
ic patrol of the streets exists not only
in all large urban Centers of the world.
but also in every considerable town
i'm Europe and America. The London
force of $4,000 constitutes by far the
largest body while other large cities
follow in the order of their population
New York 1900, Paris 700, Berlin 1900,
Vienna 3400 Chicago 5000. These are
not only the largest in total number
of men. but i'm each case they repre-
sent the largest number of policemen
in proportion to population, as COM
pared with other towns in the same
country.
In general, it may be said that. with
in any one country, the larger the
town, the larger the ratio of police
men to population. Thus, in the Uni
ted States and Great Britain, munich
palities of from 1901 600 to 100000 popu-
lation usually have about 10 policemen
to each 10000 inhabitants. and i'm Ger
many from to 3 per 10000. In centers
of about 100000 population there are
usually somewhere near Is policemen
to each 10000, while New York has 90
London "a, Berlin % and Paris 2S to
each 10000 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 cities of the sec
ond and third population rank possess
the greatest proportiunate number of
policemen. Rio de Janeiro, with a
population of 700, 900. had in 1892 po-
lice force of over 2O00 men, equal to
3S.5 for every 10000 inhabitants. Cal
cutta, India, and Kingston. Jamaica,
had a ratio of - to 10000, and Havana
cuba, at that time (three years before
the outbreak of the insurrection) had
1865 policemen to 100000 population, the
enormous ratio of 66.5 to 10000 popula-
ton.
