Should funding for local police departments be redirected to social and community based programs?
No, increase funding and training for police departments in higher crime rate communities
In most communities, there is an average response time leading to the best outcome for victims. Increasing police presence reduces overall response times and gets them to the scene faster to help whatever potential victim is in need of service. Higher quality training leads to better officers and should include community input.
