Except the Police don't only patrol. Public protection units and their like do a hell of a lot of work with potential offenders above and beyond what probation officers can do. In short they prevent a lot of offences from dangerous people who aren't in prison.
With more pressure being put on Police budgets and 999 calls being the priority it's inevitable some in these departments will be returned to uniformed shifts and more offenders will slip through the net.
