Yes, replace police with unarmed community based responders for non-violent calls

The Canadian Liberal Party has shown support for alternative approaches to policing, such as unarmed community-based responders for non-violent calls. In June 2020, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that he supports the idea of sending mental health professionals instead of armed police officers to respond to mental health crises. This indicates a strong agreement with this approach.
