Should funding for local police departments be redirected to social and community based programs?
There have been many cases to support why defunding would be necessary, such as the death of George…
Reducing their funding could lead to an increase in crime and delinquency. Cuts to the police budget could result in mass layoffs of officers and a reduction in the essential services they provide to the community. Instead of defunding, police reform should be considered that addresses systemic problems but maintains police capacity to fulfill their role in protecting the community.
