Should funding for local police departments be redirected to social and community based programs?

Yes, but maintain enough funding for better training

No, I’m fine with the current spending

Yes and reduce the duties of police to the smallest, most necessary subset of law enforcement.

Yes, if that is what the community decides. End federal funding for local police departments.

Until the war on drugs ends, police will be a military type force. They have been thrust into this role by government. We should end the war on drugs and then demilitarize the police forces, to have them return to their conducting themselves as they did in the past (protect/serve).

No, but increase the funding for social and community based programs

Yes, and The Police should be absorbed into the Sheriff's office, as the Sheriff answers to the people.

We should have more privatized funding, local funding, stop militarizing the police. Get them better training and maybe even some mental help on staff.

Regardless, all government bodies funded by theft should be abolished, including both police and social/community programs.

Yes, but only for non criminal related matters like traffic violations and mental health services

No, direct police departments to operate social- & community-based programs

NO! This is absolutely one of the dumbest things society could do. A country without law and order will not be a country for long

Yes, and The Police should be absorbed into the Sheriff's department, as the Sheriff answers to the people.

Privatize police forces instead.

Transfer all funding and policing duties to the elected sheriff's department.

No, increase funding and training for police in higher crime rate communities, as well as encourage private emergency services.

No, social and community-based programs should receive funding from individual citizens. Also, local police departments should reallocate funds for training instead of equipment.

Police should be paid more and better trained AND there should be increased funding to social and community based programs to better deal with situations involving drugs, mental health, or other problems that don't require force/guns that police deploy.

Yes, but maintain some funding for better training

Yes, and reform police departments to prevent further discrimination

Increase training for police departments, but also provide funding for social and community based programs.

Yes, police should be community oriented and only respond to violent crimes.

No, but police training needs to improve to make deadly force a last resort.

No, but raise the standards of racial sensitive and education for police officers as a whole

No, but policing needs reforms to reduce force usage and militarization.

No, less police means more crime.

No, their funding should be lowered and taxes that support them should be lowered

This is up to the local government and is not a federal issue

Cut spending as a whole

The militarization of the police needs to end. End qualified immunity and civil asset forfeiture.

Police should get better training rather than just using brute force. they should be better trained in dealing with situations and how to not let personal beliefs get in the way of their job.

No, but supplement police with unarmed community based responders for non-violent calls.
