Have you ever been to CDMX? You can't walk a step or two without another police car passing you. There are police everywhere. Also Istanbul was fairly police heavy, including "tourism police", with police tanks parked in tourist areas like Taksim square. Japan has quite a few police also, but more inline with levels in an American city.
