I have no idea what is the solution to what seems a lack of respect that modern society has for any figure of authority.
Where I grew up in UK as a kid, police officers were on foot, knew the people on their beat, and most of all, they knew all the local villains and tearaways.
HQ. then decided to reduce numbers, put the coppers in cars, and from that day, policing went downhill.
Put the local cops back on foot, so they can interact with their communities once again.
Keep the cars for the rural areas, and getting extra support in emergecies.
That would be my solution.
