| Mar 6, 2019 at 19:05 | comment | added | Dylan | bounty hunters are much more willing to do cross-planet work than the police force. Its expensive to mobilise a police force to another planet, or to interplanet space. Also, have you read Speaker for the Dead? | |

| Mar 6, 2019 at 15:34 | comment | added | Gnudiff | Just a side note, military and police usually have completely different goals. Joining them in a single force sounds very fishy and probably counterproductive. There are examples from Earth's history, but as soon as there is enough "peace" to go around, the law enforcement is generally separated from armed forces. | |

| Mar 6, 2019 at 9:11 | comment | added | Nathan | It's boring as hell, but if you have an amount of work that varies between X and X + Y where Y is large, then you'd expect an efficient organisation to have the permanent capability to do X and to know enough contractors to call to do Y (because you don't need to pay them when there's no work). Don't governments already hire people like G4S to do event security? Maybe someone can come up with an interesting reason why the crime workload flexes so much | |

| Mar 5, 2019 at 6:46 | comment | added | VLAZ | @PyRulez in fact, they'd know ex-police make excellent bounty hunters. So more police force = more ex-police. And of course there is an increased chance they get the rare loner cop who works better by himself and doesn't pay much attention to the law. These guys are really effective, especially when paired with a respectable by-the-book police officer of which there would also be a lot. | |
