Increasing training = increasing funding for police

Most people will say decrease government debt, but when they are asked if they want to decrease funding on a certain area, they always say no, keep it. It's important that we have both, and both are severely underfunded. But we are going to have to make some sacrifices if we want government spending to be sustainable. So we either get more training and bodycams for cops while reducing the number of cops, their wages or the quality of their firearms, vehicles or uniforms, or we get more mental health units while defunding the police on most of these aspects. One idea that could solve all our problems is reducing police officer wages while training them to go to mental health calls. The problem with that is we could get less qualified cops, or maybe more qualified cops because people aren't in it for the money, who knows?
