Some funding should be redirected to unarmed mental health professionals and responders for appropriate calls

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
