#Enhanced Law Enforcement

## Overview
Enhanced Law Enforcement is a comprehensive modification for enhancing police officer behavior, spawning, and management in the game. This mod additional a greater police presence, creates new patrol routes, and has dynamic officer spawning mechanics based on time of day and player location.

## Features

### Dynamic Officer Spawning
- **Time-based Spawning**: Different officer population limits based on the time of day:
- Morning (6:00 AM - 12:00 PM): 33% of max capacity
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 6:00 PM): 50% of max capacity
- Evening (6:00 PM - 9:00 PM): 66% of max capacity
- Night (9:00 PM - 4:00 AM): 100% of max capacity
- 9:00 PM Maximum Protocol: Automatically spawns officers to reach maximum capacity

- **Proximity-based Spawning**: Ensures a minimum number of officers around the player at all times
- **Intelligent Despawning**: Officers out of player view are despawned to maintain performance

### Enhanced Police AI
