10 year old in Mississippi calls 911 when his mother fears a domestic violence incident involving one of her child's fathers. The cops show up and:

A) tell the boy "your safety is very important to me, not just professionally but personally. i will exhaust every resource available to help your family in this situation."
B) approach the home, guns drawn, instruct occupants to exit the home then shot the 12 year old in the chest cuz (insert whatever logic wypipo use when stuff like this happens-- something something police have a tough job, something something imminent danger, something something 13% of the population 50% of the crime)

This is, of course, completely inconsequential to the story (cuz racism doesn't exist anymore-- per the people who have the most to gain from saying so) but.... the child is black.

 
It only makes complete total sense that the officer shot the 11 year old boy.

Because Mississippi.
 
Thankfully he served. I still blame incidents like this on the militarization of the police force.

The police are made up of recent military personnel where shoot first ask questions later may save the soldier’s life but it doesn’t work in law enforcement.

I am also glad he survived and didn't just become another wrongful death payout.

There has been a big backlash in Ontario against arming police like the armed forces. And a huge push toward de-escalation and better training. It has probably saved many lives.

But it seems that the whole 'de-fund the police' rhetoric in the US has gotten in the way of real reform in policing.
 
Philadelphia's recent mayoral primary (which is virtually the election since Republicans never carry Philadelphia) stressed safety and policing. Cherelle Parker, winner, stressed community policing and increased hiring.

Real community policing is a good idea and probably the best solution. The problem is getting municipalities and police departments to implement it properly and stick with it. Community policing is labor-intensive and therefore expensive, so politicians have to be willing to levy the taxes to pay for it (and allocate that money for community policing) and voters have to be willing to pay those taxes. And police officers have to be willing (or, at least, convinced) to actually do it; too many would rather remain in their cars.
 
Are you asking for a number? Or even a factor or percentage? That's going to be different for every municipality, depending on how many police officers they already have and how they are deployed, as well as population density and geography. (Community policing in dense areas of greater Melbourne will necessarily be done a bit differently than it would be in outer suburbs, which will be different from regional towns like Bendigo or Ballarat, which will be different from farming or ranching or mining country.)
 
Besides the fact that I don't know what "BLM policing" even is (and every single person one asked would give a different answer, since it isn't an established concept) --

-- maybe you should be asking people who are experienced in law-enforcement budgeting rather than asking a bunch of old gay guys on a message board?

Well, in that case, perhaps community policing may not be the best solution.

Community policing -- having an high number of well-trained police officers working the same areas over a long period of time, so that they get to know the civilians in the areas they police and the civilians get to know and trust the officers -- is a well-established concept.

It was also standard practice until police departments and politicians realized they could cover larger areas with fewer officers-who-have-to-be-paid-salaries when they have pairs of officers riding around in cars all the time

Community policing has been shown to reduce crime everywhere in the US that it has been tried. I'd be very surprised if the same isn't the case in Australia.

I'm actually surprised that community policing -- having an high number of well-trained police officers working the same areas over a long period of time, so that they get to know the civilians in the areas they police and the civilians get to know and trust the officers -- is something you'd look at skeptically, Pat. I'd have expected you to find the idea appealing.
