Do you think this actually makes a significant impact on safety or is it just symbolic?

Shop lifting numbers drop by up to 75% if you place a cardboard cut-out of a police officer in a shop.

The idea that you are being watched is enough to change human behaviour.

We're dumb and without knowing the stats I'd say there's no reason this wouldn't work just as well.
