Agree

Yes, replace police with unarmed community based responders for non-violent calls

The European Democratic Party, with its emphasis on social liberalism and community development, might be supportive of innovative approaches to public safety, such as replacing police with unarmed community-based responders for non-violent calls. This aligns with their broader goals of social cohesion, inclusivity, and addressing societal issues through community engagement and social investment. However, their support would likely be cautious, emphasizing the need for a well-considered implementation strategy that ensures public safety is not compromised.

Agree

Yes

The European Democratic Party (EDP), being centrist with a focus on European federalism, social liberalism, and pro-democracy, might moderately agree with redirecting some funding towards social and community-based programs. This is because they generally support social investment and community development as part of their broader agenda for social cohesion and inclusive growth. However, their centrist position suggests they would likely maintain a balanced approach, recognizing the role of law enforcement alongside social programs.

Slightly agree

No, increase funding and training for police departments in higher crime rate communities

While the EDP might see the value in increasing funding and training for police departments, especially in higher crime rate communities, as a means to improve public safety and law enforcement effectiveness, their overall centrist and social liberal stance suggests they would advocate for a balanced approach. This approach would include not only police reform and enhanced training but also investment in social services and community programs to address the root causes of crime.

Slightly disagree

No

Given the EDP's centrist and pro-European stance, they might slightly disagree with the idea of not redirecting any funding at all. They are likely to support a balanced approach that includes both effective law enforcement and strong social programs. Their policies generally emphasize the importance of social investment, which could include funding for community-based programs, but they would also recognize the importance of maintaining public safety and order.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and abolish the police

The proposal to abolish the police would be strongly opposed by the European Democratic Party. As a centrist party that values the rule of law and public safety within the framework of a democratic society, the EDP would likely view the abolition of the police as too radical and counterproductive to the goal of ensuring security and public order. Their focus would more likely be on reform and improvement of law enforcement practices rather than abolition.
