Your post suggests that you believe that increased budget for the department translates into better 'coverage'. Why do you think that when history shows otherwise?
I don't think there's much evidence that given more money, that it'll be spent improving manpower levels.
Of course money is necessary, but just as important is competence. I'm sure the DPD Crime Lab cost a lot to run. No evidence that it did much except lose things. We're no worse off without it, from what I can see.
