Defunding the police won’t completely get rid of all of the funding police get. As of right now, the police get more money than they actually need. Defunding the police would take some of that money and put it back into the communities in ways that would help lessen the load on police officers. It would put more money into public health, improving our mental health services and resources…something that is very much needed here in our small community. It would put more money into parks and recreation for kids and for adults to enjoy and help improve their mental health. It would put more money back into the communities to help give them more resources. It would help more people directly instead of funding for the last resource people turn to. It would help our communities be more proactive in stopping a lot of crimes because it would be giving people more resources to live better lives.
