i’m a bit in between on this question because the police do a great job of keeping order and balance, however i do also believe that social workers and people like that deserve an increased pay.
@8VRZKSC4yrs4Y
Not total eliminatio of police but rebook at responsibikities
@8VRQPFL4yrs4Y
No.. just fix the broken mental healthcare system.
@8TY2YD24yrs4Y
No if you take away the police who will be there if someone commits crime increased funding for police department in high crime rates. This question is no longer relevant and should be removed
@8TB77YJ4yrs4Y
If there is a surplus sure
@8S6BSZY4yrs4Y
I believe police need their funding. However I also believe that they need more training and career intervention/counseling. They need to partner with other community supports. And they should have more training to deal with the domestic violence crisis and further fallout
@8RSZ2BD4yrs4Y
Increase funding for community based programs but keep police funding the same
No, both police and social/community programs could use more funding/training/resources.
No, but divert a portion of police budgets towards accompanying unarmed community based responders for non-violent calls.

If they can do a back flip
