Should funding for local police departments be redirected to social and community based programs?

Yes and disarm the police, they should know what innocent civilians feel like when they have guns pointed at them

RCMP for life

We should be aloud to have the right to bare arms to protect themselves when the police department fail to

I think there should be a near even amount shared

Police officers literally risk their lives every single day. Their salary should be much higher and they should also provide more mental health care

No, and fund a bit more body cams on our officers and better training

It's both, I think we should Increase spending on the training and efficacy of our Police, but also redirecting other funds for Social and Community based programs when the police aren't necessarily needed or trained for certain situations.

more training and uphold human rights

It should be split appropriately between both. More funding for social and economic programs could mean less crime

I think that it would be nice to replace police with unarmed community based responders for non-violent calls, however, I feel as if one of those calls may turn violent at some point in time. I also do support increased funding and training for police departments in higher crime rate communities.

Yes, but still enough is left for police to respond to calls

Impose strict misconduct and abuse of power penalties on police along side more indepth training and mentoring programs. Impose restrictions on how police can legally handle non violent situations. They are here to protect the people not enforce

No, increase pay for police and go through extensive training for at least 2 years.

police almost above all else IMPORTANT i believe 70 percent of all cases where police were in the wrong ..if police remembered and strictly realize that they are actually not in any way the boss of us and IMPORTANT just because they speak like stop; wait there' i want to talk to you! or i neeed ur i.d if we the public are not COMMINTING a crime... NOT suspicion in ANY way only in act of comminting a crime or have commited to we HAVE to obey if police didnt have ego we would be safe

more should be redirected but not all

Some should be directed not all fundings.

they should give more to community based programs while still supplying enough funding for police departments

Yes, replace police with stand your ground laws

the police need more funding and we allready have the ability to ask for mental health experts to accompany the police

No, but utilize a certain percentage of it for support responders re: mental health calls, non-police to staff road closures for road work, traffic lights out, to decrease budget for OT shifts for non-police needs

Yes, they are underfunded already and increase their education program to four years.

I don’t like either of them that much.

the police force should be reformed into a proper system where there is no discrimination,racism and negative religious stereotypes

no however a budget cut should be made and with that cut the money could go to communitys

No, provide more funding for all police for better training.

No, but fund different programs to help train properly, with sensitivity training and proper gun control and care.

No, we should keep funding police but also fund social and community based programs.
