Everyone is "entitled" to a police visit if/when the police want to visit you.
If you "ask" for the police, your request is prioritized by the amount of property tax you pay and by the condition of the roads which lead to your house.
Case in point: County maintains two sets of statistics for traffic fatalities, one for roads which are "part of the County", one for roads which are "private or in a Federal park". Implication is that my roads are "not part of County" despite being located within (and taxed by) same.
Relevant anecdote: in 5+ years, I've seen one cop on my road. (I'll just blithely assume that I live in an area with no crime whatsoever, and consider myself lucky.)
