We need to better fund homeless and mental health services and to stop using the cops to deal with both the homeless and those in a mental health crisis.

We need to let civilians do the clerical work that police are currently doing. There are a lot of jobs that civilians can do that the police do today. That would all be done for half to a third of the current cost.

The police are funded as well as anyone and have plenty of money to be shifted and cut without harming the safety of the communities.

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
