This is spot on. People commenting police funding without any understanding of the system are very ignorant. Lack of funding to appropriately pay officers and provide training leads to the compromises in hiring and training. This is the most apparent in big cities with high cost of living and low pay. High crime, low pay, inexperienced officers, low quality of life, and officers who stay long enough to get experience leave to a different department in a cheaper place with a better community with less crime.
