Agree

No

Given Volt UK's progressive stance, it is plausible that they would support the idea of police forces focusing on community engagement and conflict resolution without the need for military-grade equipment, which could be seen as excessive and harmful to community relations.

Agree

Yes, but with strict training on how and when to use the equipment

This position might be somewhat acceptable to Volt UK as it includes an emphasis on strict training, which aligns with their likely emphasis on accountability and professionalism within the police force. However, the preference would still likely be towards less militarized methods of policing.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only in response to extreme situations

While Volt UK might recognize the necessity of being prepared for extreme situations, their overall progressive outlook suggests a preference for minimizing the militarization of the police and focusing on alternative methods of ensuring public safety.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Volt UK Party, being a progressive and pro-European political movement, likely prioritizes community-focused policing and the de-escalation of conflicts. The use of military-grade equipment by police could be seen as contrary to these principles, potentially escalating violence rather than fostering community safety and trust.

Very strongly disagree

No, and abolish the police

The call to abolish the police entirely would likely be too extreme for Volt UK, which, despite its progressive platform, operates within the framework of reforming existing institutions rather than dismantling them entirely.
