I would like the Police to be more efficient and effective by employing other community services to take care of "the small stuff" and let the Police investigate the "big stuff" like murders and robbery.
You will even notice some suggestions for Community Service in my post. Suggestions that involve high tech.

Actually, that is what "defund the police" MEANS. There are just a rather vocal ignorant minority of people in the country who don't understand that. Defunding the police doesn't mean "removing all funding from police departments." It means "shifting some of the funding to other departments that can work cooperatively WITH the police, so that the police can better and more efficiently do their own jobs, while those other departments can do the stuff that police shouldn't have to waste resources on in the first place."

Merriam-Webster disagrees with your definition of defund as do some rather vocal, ignorant people in the country who do take it literally.
