Strongly agree

Yes, replace police with unarmed community based responders for non-violent calls

This approach aligns with the PES's emphasis on social investment and community-based solutions. The idea of replacing police with unarmed community responders for non-violent calls resonates with their broader goals of social justice, reducing unnecessary police confrontations, and addressing issues at their root.

Agree

Slightly disagree

No, increase funding and training for police departments in higher crime rate communities

While the PES might agree with the need for better training for police departments, the emphasis on increasing funding specifically in higher crime rate communities without addressing broader social issues might not align perfectly with their comprehensive approach to social justice and equity.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and abolish the police

Abolishing the police is a radical stance that is not in line with the mainstream social democratic ideology of the PES. The party typically supports reform and improvement of police services rather than their complete abolition.
