Last week The Toronto Sun reported Toronto's 5,600 police have coped with 33 murders so far this year and 141 shootings. Chicago's 12,000 cops have had to deal with 313 murders and 1,453 shootings -- both almost 10 times greater than the numbers in Toronto, with double the numbers of police on the job. The evidence is enough to indicate that sheer numbers of police are not the formula for effective police. Leadership is important and, as we all know, leadership starts at the top.
