    I like “unburden the police”. Take away things that aren’t actual policing. Cops don’t need to be out there doing animal control for example.

      For better or worse, that aspect is never going away. Places with less funds, like rural counties and cities, rely on their police to do everything that gets called in to 911 and isn’t fire/ems/construction (which, thankfully, they have dedicated teams/people for).
