SANDERS OPPOSES 'DEFUND THE POLICE' PUSHBut a number of Republican attorneys general say that cutting funding to police departments would only increase crime and not solve the issue of reforming law enforcement agencies. At least a dozen GOP AGs have spoken out against the push. "Will the same liberals who want to 'defund the police' also be willing give up their security details?" State and local governments spent $115 billion on policing in 2017, according to data compiled by the Urban Institute. In 2012, with crime rampant in Camden, New Jersey, the city disbanded its police department and replaced it with a new force that covered Camden County.
