What you'll find is that cops spending more of their billed hours actively participating in some anti robbery program, reduces robberies. Not hiring more cops, or paying cops more.
Increased staffing and increased wages does not equate to increased policing, or to lower crime rates. Just ask the SPD.
There are other more effective and less costly ways to reduce robberies, as well, as has already been explained. The use of force by the state should probably be the last line, and the most scrutinized and contained line, wouldn't you agree? These are the guys who are coming to take your -insert x here-, after all.
