We need to fund both police and social programs. Hopefully, more action on social issues will eventually reduce the need for police.
@95726TH3yrs3Y
Adjust training values, adjust punishments, and check out any flaws in the system every 1-2 years.
No, unless there is an inability to find other funding sources
@8VNY8SX4yrs4Y
Some funding should be redirected to partnering with mental health professionals and addiction specialists. We expect too much from police officers
@8VFMMBK4yrs4Y
Funds shouldn't be redirected there should just be separate funding for these programs
@8V9ZPB64yrs4Y
I think the police should be re trained on how to deal with different races . Use the money to educate them better
@8V2D4KSNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes there should be more funding to Social and Community based programs, while we retrain our police to be more aware, sensitive and educated on various disabilities, mental conditions and addictions.
@8TWRGC44yrs4Y
Yes, but police are still a necessity and require funding
@8TH4R6F4yrs4Y
Yes, but a local police force is still needed.
@8T945SS4yrs4Y
Add this training as another level for the Police force
@8T8CCVY4yrs4Y
No, but increase length of study at police academies and increase training
@8QS3Z3B4yrs4Y
Yes but not completely. Police have their own place and social workers have theirs.
@8Q4TKHS4yrs4Y
No, we shouldn't abolish police completely but there should be funding for more social programs
@98SRX9R2yrs2Y
Provide additional training for officers to promote the use of community policing, then police Would be a social and community based service
