(b) For police services to effectively fight crime, the United Nations (UN) Office on Drugs and Crime prescribe a minimum police strength of one police officer to 220 people. However, it needs to be mentioned that the staffing requirement for each police station is determined by taking a number of variables into account, including, inter alia, the levels of crime, existing infrastructure, geographic terrain, resident population, population influxes, etc. The comparison of staffing levels with only one variable does not necessarily provide an indication of the appropriateness of the aTTocated staffing levels.
