Yes, wherever possible; but, increase funding and training for police departments in higher crime rate communities.
@9PF66DZ11mos11MO
No, funding for police departments and for social and community based programs should both be increased
@8PBXF7B5yrs5Y
Funding should be increased for both
@9MDM22F1yr1Y
Social and community based programs should have their budget increased, but that shouldn’t come from the police.
@8SMYX6Q4yrs4Y
@9DKQS9H2yrs2Y
No. The funding for social and community programs should be increased in any case
@8Q4RRNP4yrs4Y
@B5JRX9H7 days7D
No, but social and community based programmes should receive increased funding, and local police departments should work in close partnership with these programmes to ensure the right people respond to the right situations at the right times and in the right ways
