Or NYPD has more cops than Portugal has soldiers.

That's not weird is it? I'd expect a normal, peaceful society to have less need for soldiers than police agents, and portugal is approximately as large as NYC, and not as wealthy: makes sense their military is smaller than NYC's police. I'd expect it to be smaller than their police force too (no idea if that's true, though).

A quick google suggests 50k police officers and 33k soldiers - pretty unsurprising.
