Rural cops can't keep up with crime

I am not sure how long this link will be good but it's an interesting article. It talks about strains on rural law enforcement. I have experienced it first hand, although not to the extent the Deputy in the story has. I assure you it is not fun going to a violent call with the actor still in the area knowing your help is not close, or getting into a fight where your radio won't work, not that it matters if you can call for help since it is so far away.
