Did some asking - and it sounds like, as far as policing overall in Franklin County - there are about the same number of cops total - when you take all the sheriff's deputies (750, but they run the jail), the two university police agencies, the 30 plus independent cities with PDs, and even hospital police. Their population is about a million for the county - far more than us, the 710K is for Columbus only.
