“Defund the police” is a slogan that supports divesting funds from police departments and reallocating them to non-policing forms of public safety and community support, such as social services, youth services, housing, education, healthcare and other community resources.
We should increase funding of social programs and other means of preventing crime and reducing poverty. We should also commit to a more effective rehab system. Once we see a reduction in crime rates from these programs we can slowly ease off police force funding in accordance to how high or low crime is
No, fund police to fight crime but also fund unarmed community based responders for non-violent calls
Depends on the location, near borders police departments should get a relatively higher police budget than that of non-border police departments.
