No, but incentivize private companies and local businesses to help and fund social and community based programs
@8VJXKB53yrs3Y
Should not increase the funding, some funding redirected to social and community based programs
@96ZDTM52yrs2Y
Police funding must be increased. Even non-violent calls must be responded to by properly-trained and protected police, for the safety of all responders, those for whom the call is about, and any potential bystanders or other victims. The police shall then decide if a social worker, psychologist/psychiatrist, medical doctor, etc., is necessary in conjunction with other First Responders (namely Paramedics), and that team should be dispatched if necessary.
@8MZF7PQ4yrs4Y
Higher police training and more social and health funding
