Possible bug with Officers Stopping Crime

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
In examining the code related to a mod I made I noticed an interesting artifact.

According to this decompiled code:

function Dome:CanPreventCrimeEvents()
    local officers = #(self.labels.security or empty_table)
    local renegades = #(self.labels.Renegade or empty_table)
    if officers <= renegades then
        return false
    end
    if officers > renegades * 3 then
        return false
    end
    local chance = MulDivRound(officers, 100, 6 * renegades)
    return chance >= Random(0, 100)
end

Four officers are incapable of preventing a solo renegade crime spree. Ignoring the fact that 2 renegades will never perform any crime, due to a separate function and check. But it would hold true for 8 officers and 2 renegades.

Secondly, this function seems to imply that Officers, regardless of workplace prevent crime just by existing. This came up with my friend who had the Prevent Crime notification occur from a dome with no security office (and two Officer specialists living in the dome).

Can you replicate the issue?
Possibly. It would be difficult to set up. I will post a save if I am able.

Was able to produce both behaviors.
Upon loading this save, fast-forward to noon, the renegades will steal resources from Dome #1 (there are 10 officers, 3 renegades, and no security office).
Reload the save and reassign two security officers to Dome #3, fast forward to noon, renegades will be prevented from stealing resources (this may not be a sure-thing, I had to test four times: the first three I reassigned one officer to Dome #3 with no success, but on the fourth try I reassigned two and it triggered).

Mods are installed, but the save loads and the behavior reproduces without them. Linking them just in case:

I was just reading this fragment today and thought that it is a bit strange. Kudos for taking the effort to repro.
