I don't think it's possible to do away with the police. Nor do I think that having them respond like firemen (only when they're called) will work...at all. Police being in and around the community is most certainly a deterrent. Keep the police back at the ranch until they're called and watch things like bank robbery soar...and speeding...and a whole host of other crimes.
One thing that could be tried, however, if you wanted to get away from police generating city revenue through tickets is that instead of, say, fining someone $150 for speeding, they would now have to serve 16 hours of community service. Or something like that. The punishment still has to be "painful" enough to serve as a deterrent.
