I feel as though both is important.
@8YV757X3yrs3Y
yes, we should make police training better so that police brutality is less of an issue, because right now we have to deal with way to much violence from the people who are supposed to be protecting us.
@8VQV6TG4yrs4Y
Yes, via data analytics. Any social program that reduces crime rates more than policing should be funded.
@8VQSKNR4yrs4Y
Police are important, take a small amount and from areas like our healthcare budget to focus on lowering corruption and mental health issues.
@8VLH6RG4yrs4Y
I don’t think all funding should be moved to social and community based programs but some should be.
@8VLGF5D4yrs4Y
Should be evenly dispersed between different emergency response teams who are trained for specific scenario's
@8V47SLG4yrs4Y
No, locate and redistribute unnecessary spending towards additional training with a focus on psychology and human relations.
redirect a small percentage of police funding to social agencies.
@8T6RM3F4yrs4Y
No, but officers should be trained in psychology and sociology
@8SF3FDVNew Democratic4yrs4Y
A balanced system is best and increase funding
@8R6TYQF4yrs4Y
The funding should be equally distributed.
@8R3RHKQ4yrs4Y
Keep funding as is, use extra funding for social programs.
@8QFTYJBNew Democratic4yrs4Y
They should keep the funding for the police departments where it is and instead put more money into those social and community-based programs so then once those programs start to become more successful then you can start to reduce funding from the police departments
@8PYVCL54yrs4Y
No, but funding for mental health and addictions officers should be added to take over in these areas.
