Yes, wherever possible; but, increase funding and training for police departments in higher crime rate communities.

 @9PF66DZanswered…6mos6MO

No, funding for police departments and for social and community based programs should both be increased

 @9MDM22Fanswered…8mos8MO

Social and community based programs should have their budget increased, but that shouldn’t come from the police.

 @9F58ZK4answered…1yr1Y

I think we should fund social- and community-based programmes, but also fund the police appropriately. There must be a happy medium. It's horses for courses!

 @9DKQS9Hanswered…1yr1Y

No. The funding for social and community programs should be increased in any case

 @9ZSRHLCanswered…4wks4W

No, increase entry requirements and training of police nation wide and being targeted increases of policing in high crime areas
