Easy peasy:

Step 1: Get a bunch of helicopters. Step 2: With searchlights. Step 3: Stay off the streets as much as possible. Step 4: Avoid interactions with all members of the community who are not cops. Step 5: Except when moonlighting as security on a movie set. Step 6: Moar helicopters. Step 7: Reduce workforce until the ratio of cops to population approaches 1:1800, or maximum entropy, whichever comes first.

When I call someone a pussy, I'm calling them a coward, as in scaredy-cat.

Specifically, the kind of bully-blowhard coward that talks a lot of smack but collapses and runs at the first sign of actual danger.
