No. Funding for better training should be increased AND more money should be allocated to social programs and services.

No, and increase the standards of police training.

In stead of taking funding from local police, we should direct some money from the military to social and community based programs. While the police should be placed with more restirctions on gun use and training.

This is very complicated

Yes, and make sure the funds used for police are managed appropriately and not used for unnecessary measures, and provide proper training and education for police officers towards de-escalating tactics.

No, and allocate additional funding for social and community-based programs.

Excepting the sheriff's department, all police departments should be abolished and replaced by civil militias. The funds should be used to arm and train every citizen.

Social and community programs should be funded in addition to the police, both are needed.

it depends, however, police do need better training and educating

Yes, but allocate some funds to social services, housing, education, healthcare, and other community resources.

While the police should have some funds be redirected to social programs, Police should still exist and have the funds necessary for protecting the public.

No, but add unarmed community-based responders to police departments

They should increase the amount of training required and more heavy background and psychological tests

Yes the police should have a restart since their values and principles aren't positive.

I feel as if the values and principles of the police are messed up and rooted in systemic racism. They should start from scratch and teach their officers how to behave.

The police should be restarted with better values and principles.

I dont understand this question.

add more funding and extend the amount of time to become an officer(more training)

I do not wish to defund police departments, however, I do think there could be more money invested in community based programs.
