I imagine it's public perception of the issues as well. If cops aren't stopping bike thieves nobody really cares, but if they fail to stop a statistically improbable terrorist attack in their area then it's far far worse for them. They'll get so much shit and flak for it, especially the higher ups. Jobs will change, so they priorities are shifted not toward what's useful but what the public deems consequential.
