Yes many of the police forces in the nicer suburbs have a much better caliber, much more highly paid cop.
Mayors know the citizens there demand to be safe. So they pay for and get plenty of much much better policemen. Citizens pay higher taxes, but can drive around, shop, go places, take their children to and from school very safely.
Ironically these cops have a lot less crime to deal with, especially violent crime, but get paid more.
But the same people go to a sporting event or something in the inner city are now reluctant to go, if they do the men often now carry firearms when entering those areas though they are better protected than the rest of the inner city areas; can't have people go to a MLB game and get carjacked and shot a 1/2 mile from the stadium.
