Each incorporated city does not have its own local law enforcement
(pronounced "police"), they can choose (and some do) to contract on an
hourly type basis with the LCSO (prounounced ELL-SEE-ESS-OHHH) as their
budget sees fit. Regardless of what happens in each incorporated city,
unincorporated village, cluster of trailer courts, etc. that still
leaves a lot of roads/backroads/highway to cover with only 2 people per
shift(response time from Bovill to Moscow to Potlatch to Deary to Onaway
to Harvard to Kendrick to Genesee to Princeton to Forest Service Road 34
to Laird Park Campground etc...) but I guess if you feel safe we should
all be content.
