1. Reduce the paragraphs of fine print. Poorly-edited text is a waste of time to read. It is deceptive: you either don't understand it, or don't remember everything; and when it's changed, you're never shown a nice "diff". If you need a lawyer to figure it out, you spend money. Many documents can be written as a few bullets of basic English, so they should be. 2. Allow actual threat levels to dictate the allocation of resources. A big one: driving. Statistically, car accidents hurt many more people than the other things that make the news, and yet there's no uproar over clueless drivers and badly-designed intersections. A relatively small investment over 18 months could definitely improve this. 3. Start reviewing the people put in prison for minor offenses, and review the "sex offender" registries. Why are people in jail for years on charges like drug possession, people who didn't hurt anyone but themselves? Why are 17-year-olds who slept with their girlfriends on the same list as offenders who are actually dangerous? In 18 months, a whole lot of people could have their humanity returned to them.
