No, but the training, certification and psychological testing should be improved to require a higher standard
@9M78KHF12mos12MO
I believe the money being sent to the police should be used for new training policies and to create better laws. Our legal system hasn't been updated for a lot of issues and it is causing a problem which then feeds into social community based programs. Instead of talking about the cause we should be trying to solve it.
@96GBJGM3yrs3Y
No, but give police officers proper training and background checks to prevent police brutality issues.

@8RKRCF74yrs4Y
the police need more funding and we allready have the ability to ask for mental health experts to accompany the police
@8QRWDB74yrs4Y
There should be a sector that only deals with non violent calls and a sector that deals with violent calls.
@8PKCQ27Rhinoceros4yrs4Y
No, we should increase training in higher crime rate communities. Ones with lower rates should have a slight decrease

Yes, but also fund police departments.

Decrease a little but still find our police stations
@99TPMBF2yrs2Y
Yes, and increase regulation and training of police
@997X9632yrs2Y
No, more funding should be given to social and community based programs but not removed from the police departments
