Some funding should be redirected to mental health agencies, to deal with offenders that are mentally ill.
@B43SXTX 4wks4W
Shift non-criminal crisis response (e.g., mental health calls) to specialized teams while keeping police focused on serious crime.
Increase funding for both policing and community programs instead of taking from one to fund the other.
Invest in de-escalation and mental health training for officers to improve public interactions.
Audit police budgets to cut inefficiencies without reducing necessary law enforcement services.
Yes redirect some of the police department spending to mental health teams that work directing with the police.
@92QXYZV3yrs3Y
No to decreasing funding but channeling some of that funding for sensitivity training and increase community based funding for partnership with police
@8VRNRVY4yrs4Y
Yes, a percentage of the funds should be redirected to social and community-based programs.
@8VPVSGX4yrs4Y
New funding should go into social programs such as mental health issues but not taken away from police
@8VPVM8JNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Police funding should be slightly reduced to provide funding for other programs.
@8VMP336Conservative4yrs4Y
Support both and encouraging the cooperation between both to provide a better service overall
@8VLGN8B4yrs4Y
No, fund both, but limit police power and advance police training.
@8V2N7GZ4yrs4Y
Stop putting caps on police and let them do their job to ACTUALLY serve and protect.
@8TYWNDPNew Democratic4yrs4Y
No but they should work closely with these programs and have increased sensitivity training as well as psychological testing for recruits and current officers. And in higher crime communities increase funding & training for police departments
@8TYN53SLibertarian4yrs4Y
Let all Canadians have the right to conceal carry if they so choose.
@8TQ845B4yrs4Y
Funding for the police should be cut
@98XPPBKNew Democratic2yrs2Y
No, but there needs to be increased social workers available, alongside trained police officers.
@B4Q6CJ6Conservative2 days2D
No, but social programs should be pursued and separately funded while working with law enforcement on non violent calls
