No, allocate funding to increased training involving emotional intelligence, situational training, and score the work force with similar competency tests like similar to NAV Canada ATC's
@8VTXFXR4yrs4Y
Yes, but only partially to increase community initiatives, police should not be abolished but rather trained better and have stricter admittance into the force.
Yes, some funding should be redirected to intervene and prevent crime.
@8VH9MBQ4yrs4Y
Better training for police and some reform needed. Don’t want to go to the extreme.
@8VCD8RK4yrs4Y
No, but funding for those services should be increased and cross-training should be done to teach the police and these programs to work together.
@8V3XW4R4yrs4Y
Funding should stay the same but also fund communities at risk
@8RL3DTN4yrs4Y
Leave the police out of it. Redirect funds from elsewhere towards social and community based programs.
@8QBGVBS4yrs4Y
No, but completely redo how police are trained and how often.
@98BTJBT2yrs2Y
No, just train the police better
@8Z76YHF3yrs3Y
Yes, create units for non-violent calls with specially trained social workers and police officers
