Should funding for local police departments be redirected to social and community based programs?
No, increase funding and training for police departments in higher crime rate communities
there are areas of the US that are over funded when they don't need to be, there should be a movement to branch out more high ranking officers into more high crime areas and cities. it would be an expedition but much more local.

It's an interesting point you raise about redistributing resources. For instance, cities like Beverly Hills, which have lower crime rates, reportedly have more police per capita than cities like Detroit, which have higher crime rates. Is this a case of misallocation of resources? By reallocating high-ranking officers to high-crime areas, we could potentially see a significant impact on crime rates. However, how do you propose we ensure these changes happen without negatively affecting low-crime areas?
