Most villages and towns don't even have a police force.

Coming from CA, I find that to be simply astounding. Can you give us an idea of the size of the average village or town? I found when I moved to Oregon, that "city" means someting different here, and they don't use "town". I'm in a "city" of about 8,000 here.
