Incorporation keeps your local taxes and services truly local, including police. With the establishment of even a minimally-staffed full-service local police force, the number of police officers dedicated to the region would immediately increase several fold. Moreover, the main police station would most likely be located as centrally as possible within the city. These two factors combined will result in more officers on the street at any given time, with the shortest response time possible.
