They have the funds already. They don't need more money, they can easily shift funds once they're no longer being asked to do a number of things - Krusty Jun 10, 07:02 7
- They do still need funds. It will be more expensive to separate these things out. That's part of why it is what it is. - pmb Jun 10, 07:05 3
  - They don't need the money, they're getting plenty. Other agencies need more money and the work needs to be shifted away from the police freeing them - Krusty Jun 10, 07:11 2
    - those sorts of changes cost money. what agency/department is going to do this? is it integrated into the 911 system? are they setup for 24hr on call -- (edited) - tRuMaN Jun 10, 07:17 1
      - I think the police have more then enough money to cover yet another community policing initiative and that federal funds should go directly to other -- (edited) - Krusty Jun 10, 07:25
- But will they? If not, and you put this money out there the requires it be used for those things, perhaps a good? - ty97 Jun 10, 07:04
- so that isnt defunding the police, its reforming the police and moving funds to increase/develop other services or departments. - tRuMaN Jun 10, 07:04 1
  - It's both. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jun 10, 07:19
