Yes, redirect money into mental health social programs - also increase mental health training for police
@9LFY4L71yr1Y
Fund the police for them to be trained to deal with more mental health and social service calls. Also should have social workers that work with police for mental heath and social service calls
Funding for police should remain, further training should be implemented, and increase funds for social and community based programs
@8YMXWD73yrs3Y
the police should get more funding fo better training especially in racial bias.
Police partner with social and community-based programs to reduce crime, but still have police.
@8V6K63MNew Democratic4yrs4Y
police are important. fund police traing and add funding for community policing, and a rapid response team with regards to mental health related dispatches.
@8TXZTT94yrs4Y
Keep same police funding. Abolish the senate and pay for programs with those tax dollars.
@8RN5QDMNew Democratic4yrs4Y
I think increasing funding for better training only.
@8QK74GZ4yrs4Y
Half and half, yes and no.
@99HN34H2yrs2Y
Policing needs better training but also on drug calls should have a social worker come out with them
@969MVS33yrs3Y
In high crime areas funding should stay the same for police. In lower crime areas the funding should be redirected away from the police to other programs.
@8VMXG844yrs4Y
with the ever-increasing crime in the province, we need the police,e or some type of police. However,r they need more training to handle things like a mental health issue,s and they also need to feel their job is not being degraded by judges and crown counsel letting people off with no to extremely light sentences for the crimes they commit
@8VKKVKS4yrs4Y
Add money to a program that can help with mental health
@9DZ5L6M2yrs2Y
No, increase funding for police in higher crime rate communities. Provide mandatory training for police on how to respond to situations where someone has a mental health problem or developmental disorder.
