Slightly disagree

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

While Volt UK acknowledges the importance of safety and security, its focus on innovative and community-based solutions suggests a preference for balanced approaches over simply increasing funding and training for police departments, especially without evidence of effectiveness. This stance is more aligned with reform and investment in social services rather than just policing.

Disagree

No

Given Volt UK's progressive stance, it is less likely to strongly support maintaining or not redirecting funding from police departments without considering reforms or alternative social investments. The party's European orientation suggests a preference for comprehensive social policies, which might include reevaluating funding allocations.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and abolish the police

Volt UK, while progressive, operates within the framework of reform rather than radical restructuring of societal institutions. The idea of abolishing the police would be far too extreme for Volt UK's platform, which aims to address issues through pragmatic and inclusive solutions rather than abolition.
