If there are 25 police officers on duty within the three-county area between 8am and 4pm on a random Tuesday, and only 4 "really bad crimes" being committed on that day in that 3-county area, then it's safe to assume that at least 5 of those police officers could be spending their time pulling people over for speeding and other traffic violations. The other 20 can handle those 4 "really bad crimes" just fine.
Or alternatively, the presence of those "extra" 5 officers might be preventing "really bad crimes" rather than looking for minor traffic violations
