I personally think that police should be trained for social events as well as their usual training so they can act as a mediator. Although, I am aware that this depends on what kind of person the officer is.

“personally think that police should be trained for social events as well as their usual training so they can act as a mediator.”

While I understand the idea of training police officers to act as mediators, it's important to consider the cost of such training and whether it is a feasible solution. Additionally, we must acknowledge that not all police officers are equipped to handle social events, and some may not be interested in doing so. Redirecting funds to social and community-based programs may be a more effective solution, as it could address the root causes of crime and improve community relations. However, it's important to ensure that these programs are properly funded and implemented to make a real impact. What do you think?
