Increasing the number of policemans by more than 50% did not bring a significant decrease in crime in Slovakia
The leapfrog increase in the number of police officers by half in Slovakia has not resulted in a proportional reduction of crimes or their clarification
The comparison illustrates possible links or disconnects between higher or lower numbers of force personnel and the impact of crime. In 2005, the number of police personnel in Slovakia increased by more than 50%. From about 14,100 in 2004 to more than 22,500 in 2005. Development of statistically objective data:
The clearance rate for violent crime was 72% in 2004, up 2% in 2005 and down 6% in 2006.
The clearance rate for violent crime was 81% in 2004, down 2% in 2005, down 5% in 2006.
The clearance rate for economic crime in 2004 was 56%, in 2005 it fell by 1%, in 2006 it fell by 5%
The cost of wages (2016-2020) was calculated for 4,000 employees as half of the total 8,300,000,000 CZK over 4 years. Thus, it costs about CZK 1 billion a year to pay 4,000 police officers and about another billion a year to equip the same number. The Ministry of Interior has a sum of about 90 billion / year. The budget for salaries and operation of about 40 thousand employees of the Police is about 49 billion CZK. It is impossible to trace what the state budget costs for operations include or do not include. For example, retirement benefits, at an average of CZK 10,000 per employee per year, cost roughly CZK 12 billion per year.

For the equivalent and calculation of CZK 100,000 in 2004, it is roughly CZK 145,000 in 2021, i.e. an inflation rate of 45%. Dividing and multiplying € versus Slovak koruna, conversion rate 30.1. The cost of Czech corruption is expressed as a loss of about 8 CZK per capita per day.
