Are you thinking there should be fewer officers working on any given shift?

Once the shift starts, you have X cars in service. If emergency runs come in, and someone is backing up a routine traffic stop, the back up car clears and takes the emergency run. Either way, whether the officers stop one, two, or twenty cars, they are all getting paid to take calls as they come in unless they are assigned to some other duty besides traffic. It's not like officers rove around in three car packs from call to call.
