Defund the Police

"Defund the Police" is a movement advocating for reallocating funds from police departments to other community resources like mental health services, education, and social programs. The goal is to reduce reliance on law enforcement for issues better addressed by specialized services, aiming to improve public safety and community well-being. It is not about eliminating police entirely but about restructuring priorities to address root causes of problems, promote accountability, and foster healthier communities through investment in preventative and supportive measures.
