Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Due to the limited number of police officers in relation to the population, they must use discretion in deciding which situations require their attention. They cannot respond to every reported crime or incident, so they prioritize based on factors such as severity, likelihood of solving the crime, and the potential danger to the community. This allows them to use their limited resources more efficiently.
