Just maybe, if we get shut of the majority of mindless & ill thought out restraints, had harsher penalties which were applied more vigorously including Corporal & Capital punishment. A judiciary & politicians who would listen to the majority of law abiding citizens & implement their requests & those lawyers, bleeding heart liberals who defend the criminal classes had to share the punishment of their deadbeat "clients" I'm pretty sure we could find Senior officers & other ranks with the will & ability to sort our own problems in house without having to go abroad !

Until such time we're stuck with the mess we have at present & there will continue to be a cry for outside assistance in the forms of such as Bill Bratton or people like Sheriff Joe Arpaio, because they appear to get results for minimum cost to the long suffering tax payer.
