Both social parties and police need to work together in partnership to best influence as both have separate skill sets with small amounts of overlap.
@9ZYRK5Z4mos4MO
More community based programs, but we also need a over haul of the entire policing system. Weed out the bad ones and retraining
@9MKYHZ711mos11MO
No, but police hiring and screening standards should be raised so that officers are effective but mindful of peoples needs and only use force as a very last resort
@936NX9Z3yrs3Y
Keep it as is, but the police need more training.
@8YCZK2S3yrs3Y
Yes, community program is important but not completely defund the polish
@8VTS2BW4yrs4Y
No, better use of funding
@8VRLFZV4yrs4Y
No, but increase funding reabilitation facilitates, mental health centers etc
@8VHVM9X4yrs4Y
Provide more training for police to allow for proper assessment of situations and handling of conflicts
@8VF8YLSNew Democratic4yrs4Y
A combined approach. Fund the police and increase training for police departments in higher crime rate communities AS WELL AS employ and utilize unarmed community based responders for non-violent calls. Have them work hand in hand
@8VDFL8J4yrs4Y
There should be increased training and hiring of social workers
@8TH5GQL4yrs4Y
I believe that they should both be pursued with great action equally.
@9C3MN5G2yrs2Y
Yes but the larger portion of the funding to still go to the police department. Restructure how it’s divided.
@97862DL2yrs2Y
I detailed breakdown of where the funding is currently and where it could be placed if moved.
@952NWZX3yrs3Y
Yes, but raise it a little
@8SVC9VC4yrs4Y
Yes, some funding but still maintain police forces
