higher skilled and better trained police officers with a majour culture change in poliicing is important to a sustabiale and stable commuities
No but more funding needs to be provided for social and community programs. Also, policing needs to change to allow for community based responders to deal with non-violent calls. There should be a partnership with the 2.

I'm in the middle on this one because community programs are good but also having a good police force is good as well.

Increase funding for social and community based programs that work with and support local police departments
@8VDG5VN4yrs4Y
Keep funding the same, enforce training and mandatory evaluations on officers every year or so.
@8R8SGB64yrs4Y
Not redirected entirely, but reasonably balanced/shared to ensure both effective law enforcement & social/community based programs.

@8S6BRSJNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Funding should be reduced and police should not be responsible for everything. However, there are still several incidents where police presence are required.
