IMO you have the wrong idea You do not want police to be "Sociologists, and Psychologists". That is what social workers are for. A lot of police work is drud

IMO you have the wrong idea You do not want police to be "Sociologists, and Psychologists". That is what social workers are for. A lot of police work is drudgery. So do not ask them to all be qualified with college degrees. It should be a job any honest person can do. I get your fed up ness with the current set up, but rethink what policing is, what it is for, and why is a better approach than to make police do even more (social work) Here in Aotearoa the top police officer (we have a national system, generally) is big on "policing with consent". It means that the community must support the police for them to be effective. It is a big change for us, and it may not stick. The last commissioner put paramilitary police with automatic rifles into Māori communities (poor and coloured). Not long ago teh police and "Māori gangs" would have what amounted to set piece brawls on a semi regular basis. I still hate the fucking pigs, but I am old and grey. Perhaps the next generation will do better, here
