Highly refined and the benefits of new Zealand police challenge who not deserve more decrease communitys and headquarter rates

 @99H9QM9from Virgin Islands  answered…2yrs2Y

No, but police forces should be less violent and other government bodies should act in favor of those social and community programs

No, increase funding and training for police departments in higher crime rate communities No

No, instead, just ensure the police departments' funds are properly managed, and provide more proper training and education for police officers, while reallocating a small portion of its funds towards social and community programs to provide assistance towards certain groups alongside addressing issues such as poverty, homelessness, mental disorders, etc.

No, I believe defunding the police will not solve all problems. Instead, provide more proper training and education for police officers and make sure that funding for police departments are properly managed and not used for unnecessary measures, alongside social and community programs to provide support and assistance to the most vulnerable, and to address poverty, homelessness, mental disorders, etc. There should be a balance of funding between the two.

  Deletedanswered…3yrs3Y

No, continue funding for police departments, but make sure that the funds are managed properly and not used for unnecessary measures, along with funding for social and community programs as long as they can work with each other. Also, provide more proper training and education for police officers towards de-escalating tactics.

 @ISIDEWITHanswered…4yrs4Y

No, there is support for defunding federal police, but there would be no federal dictation on what communities do.

 @8ZSR5NL from GU  answered…3yrs3Y

No, continue funding for police departments alongside social and community programs (which is also effective for addressing poverty, homelessness, mental disorders, etc.), but make sure that the funds are managed properly and not used for unnecessary measures. Also, provide more proper training and education for police officers towards de-escalating tactics.

  Deletedanswered…4yrs4Y

No, Allow the states to choose what will be done with their police force

 @925MDYZ from Missouri  answered…3yrs3Y

no but use the powers the police have in a way to bring the community together helping people feel more safe

 @92HLYZHanswered…3yrs3Y

No, increase funding, training and requirements for becoming a police officer.

 @8Q8HZ2D from New Jersey  answered…4yrs4Y

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

What alternative strategies can you think of that might make your community feel safer and more supported?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

How would your community change if more money was spent on social programs instead of on policing?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

Have you or someone you know ever needed help that the police weren't equipped to provide?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

What kind of community services do you think could benefit from increased funding to prevent crime?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

How do you feel about the balance between public safety and community support in your own neighborhood?

 @8RYYH7Zanswered…4yrs4Y

Police to do there jobs but not disrupt communities just on suspicion and for news to stop inflaming events

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

Can you imagine a situation where a social worker, rather than a police officer, could be more effective in responding?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

How important do you believe mental health services are in reducing the need for traditional policing?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

Do you think investing in housing and job programs could reduce crime more effectively than increased policing?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

In what ways have you observed police presence affecting your community, positively or negatively?

 @8CQKXRG from Ohio  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but let officers keep their weapons in case of situations that are violent.

 @8VQRWQ9answered…3yrs3Y

I think they should lower the funds for local police departments but not cut funds entirely because I believe we do still need a police force, it just needs more established rules.

 @8YWHYGD from Ohio  answered…3yrs3Y

No, keep current funding, but make sure the funding does not go towards militarizing the police.

 @8ZP5XPN from New Hampshire  answered…3yrs3Y

Funding should be moved away from militaristic deployment and towards training and education.

 @8ZLD3KV from Oklahoma  answered…3yrs3Y

No, better training for dangerous situations should be taught to them. Their record of racial bias should also be taken into account.

 @92T58MH from Illinois  answered…3yrs3Y

add more funding and extend the amount of time to become an officer(more training)

 @92TDH6J from Illinois  answered…3yrs3Y

I feel as if the values and principles of the police are messed up and rooted in systemic racism. They should start from scratch and teach their officers how to behave.

 @9334YP3answered…3yrs3Y

Excepting the sheriff's department, all police departments should be abolished and replaced by civil militias. The funds should be used to arm and train every citizen.

 @92YT8JT from New York  answered…3yrs3Y

 @92ZLLSSanswered…3yrs3Y

 @8YRTGKL from California  answered…3yrs3Y

I think/believe that increase funding should not be just for the higher crime rated communities be spread abroad. There is crime everywhere and the police need more training to handle this influx of crimes.

 @92XBWMT from New York  answered…3yrs3Y

They should increase the amount of training required and more heavy background and psychological tests

 @8YMT7T3 from California  answered…3yrs3Y

I don't think we should completely defund the police but we should defenitely direct more money to social and community based programs.

 @9323M4S from Idaho  answered…3yrs3Y

Social and community programs should be funded in addition to the police, both are needed.

 @92XJ428 from Pennsylvania  answered…3yrs3Y

 @92XJ3JK from New York  answered…3yrs3Y

No, but the funding should go to anti-racist training of the officers and to removing prejudice within the police system

 @3YCKLNHanswered…4yrs4Y

Yes and reduce the duties of police to the smallest, most necessary subset of law enforcement.

 @8WRSFWDanswered…3yrs3Y

 @8R2ZX4Kanswered…4yrs4Y

Social and community based programs should be created, but not at the sacrifice of police funding

 @8RQD6LZanswered…4yrs4Y

No, But only if we teach our policemen to do their job correctly and to not show harm to others when it's not necessary. And to not twist stories that happens to women.

 @8MF7P7Canswered…4yrs4Y

No, instead funding should go towards a officers training as to many problems have occurred over the years because of bad and not well trained officers.

 @8RPTJXBanswered…4yrs4Y

Redirect the funding that goes to swat teams, armored trucks, etc. To increased training with how to de-escalate situations.

 @8M23TG4answered…4yrs4Y

The police need to be taught better on how to act with specific situations.

 @8TP6QKSanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, abolish all police except sheriff's departments and use the money to provide every household with firearms, ammunition and training

 @8FQPRWQanswered…4yrs4Y

Both. Inefficacy can be reduced and our taxes are plenty to allocate resources to both sides.

  Deletedanswered…3yrs3Y

Police should be there to protect the community and not to murder and arrest the poor.

  Deletedanswered…3yrs3Y

No, increase funding and training for police departments in higher crime rate communities No

No, instead, provide more proper training and education for police officers and make sure that funds for police departments are properly managed and not used for unnecessary measures, along with social and community programs to provide support and assistance to all people in order to address issues (e.g. poverty, homelessness, mental disorders, etc.).

 @3QH7LMPanswered…4yrs4Y

 @47CFBN2answered…4yrs4Y

No, but use the funds to train the police to use non-violent techniques in non-violent situations.

 @8VJ4XQ4answered…3yrs3Y

They should go hand in hand and the police force should have people dedicated to these 911 calls or sum.

 @8VYCW47answered…3yrs3Y

You can't eliminate police, but certain resources could be redirected and improved training for community interaction and de-escalation should be increased.

 @glockettanswered…4yrs4Y

No, we should pay them more for putting their lives on the line for us; but in addition, we should also increase funding for social and community based programs and not put so many jobs on the police.

 @78S5M87 from Wisconsin  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8WFPTJXanswered…3yrs3Y

No, but new recruits should be tested if they are; Mentally ill, Racist, or an Extremist.

 @8F8NGS3answered…4yrs4Y

I think that people should be able to get mental health services from qualified people, rather than have to self medicate because they have mental health issues and cant get help. ITs like chasing your tale. If you don't help the people with mental health challenges they would probably be less likely to have to self medicate and cause less problems in the streets. Which would most likely would make it to where we need less cops. How many of the millions of people that are homeless son the streets could benefit from mental health help and cannot get it.

  @6WQYBY3 from Idaho  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes. By eliminating victimless crimes from the responsibilities of the police, Law Enforcement can draw down and the newly available resources can be used at community discretion.

 @8F5MHGJ from Wisconsin  answered…4yrs4Y

I don't believe the police should be completely defunded but I do think more of a mix of social programs and cops could be beneficial.

 @8DXBQJSanswered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but also put on strict policies on the police force to hold them more accountable for their actions.

 @8DR2ZV9answered…4yrs4Y

I think this is too generalized. I think it depends on the various department/agency, their budgets, and how they are utilizing those budgets to serve their communities.

 @8GLH2VZanswered…4yrs4Y

Funding should remain the same or be increased to redesign police training that lessens police violence and promotes de-escalation techniques.

 @8GZX2VKanswered…4yrs4Y

 @8G27RZKanswered…4yrs4Y

 @3DSBJC3answered…3yrs3Y

No, local police departments and social and community based programs should be included in one budget.

 @8HPTLVWanswered…4yrs4Y

No, but use the money given to the police to include more training to reduce biases

  Deletedanswered…3yrs3Y

No, but abolish the police still and let local communities do what they want

 @8X9RRRKanswered…3yrs3Y

  Deletedanswered…4yrs4Y

No, it should be redirected to county sheriffs, whom are elected officials and if people don't like how they are working they can be voted out of office.

 @8HX5B3Xanswered…4yrs4Y

  Deletedanswered…3yrs3Y

No, increase funding and training for police departments in higher crime rate communities No

No, just ensure that police departments are better funded and its funds are properly managed, while providing more funding for social and community programs to provide support and assistance towards certain groups and to address issues (e.g. poverty, homelessness, mental disorders etc.), and provide more proper training and education for police officers, to ensure safe neighborhoods.
