Thank you for this amazing session! I've never thought deeply about policing before, but this session allowed me to deeply analyze the importance of enhancing strategies for effective policing, in which the police workforce would have more respect and less intimidation/fear, especially in regards to marginalized communities. This would ensure that there isn't systemic racism embedded in the policing. Moreover, fostering connections between policing and social services would help those with mental health problems; defunding is not the solution, as the police are very integral and require more training. Defunding correlates with less training and worse quality.
