Yes, wherever possible; but, increase funding and training for police departments in higher crime rate communities.
@9PF66DZ9mos9MO
No, funding for police departments and for social and community based programs should both be increased
@8PBXF7B4yrs4Y
Funding should be increased for both
@9MDM22F10mos10MO
Social and community based programs should have their budget increased, but that shouldn’t come from the police.
@8SMYX6Q4yrs4Y
@9F58ZK42yrs2Y
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!
@9DKQS9H2yrs2Y
No. The funding for social and community programs should be increased in any case
@B2DDLC22mos2MO
This would be a part of a major reform of the police, which would be split into an organisation dealing with one solely stopping crime and the other being community supporters
