  I think we should hire a lot more cops than we currently have but this > The goal, Womack said, is to not send a patrol officer immediately out to every noise complaint and civil dispute. Those issues can be handled by the civil court system or by non-sworn employees, freeing patrol officers to promptly respond to emergencies or focus on building trust in the community. Doesn't seem like a huge deal. I'd rather cops be patrolling for property crime than victimless ones.

    It’s not victimless. Frequent exposure to environmental noise can cause stress, anxiety, depression, high blood pressure, heart disease, and mental health issues.
