The population of magical Britian is very small so Bones basically heads the local police department.
I’m not sure this is quite right. The population of Magican Britain may be roughly on the level of being served by a “local police department,” but I get the impression that they have to devote a greater proportion of their government’s resources to law enforcement than muggles would, because wizards are so much harder to police. Every wizard is much better equipped to create public disorder than a muggle would be.
Wizards in general are hard to police, but if the police has turn turners and a lot of the criminals don’t have them law enforcement get’s easier.
In any case an attack on the school to which the children of everyone go is a serious business and nobody would complain if the ministry does take great care that all children in school are safe.
