No, but we should raise more funding to send social workers along with the police
@8VQJD7KRhinoceros4yrs4Y
Not necessarily redirected from police departments, but more funding should be put into preventative social and community programs.

@8VC4W684yrs4Y
Some funding should be taken out of the police budget and put towards better social programs
Keep funding for police but add funding for community programs
@8V2VCTD4yrs4Y
Yes, and local police departments should be required to have social workers or mental health workers to help with such related cases or problems. That way people with mental health problems don't just get shot or something similar.

Train more effective military so more money can be redirected into more social issues.
@8Q95CT54yrs4Y
Overhaul of the police system and training.
Direct some funding to allow certain services that are not appropriate for police to deal with.
@8PDW8TZ4yrs4Y
No. Do not take funding from the police, but increase social and community based programs to help deter crime from happening to begin with and if proven to be highly effective then begin slowly taking away funding from the police if truly deemed that they do not need as much in the moment.
@9CDMT9N2yrs2Y
Depends on what programs are available
Increase funding for the police and fund social and community programs
