That's close to what Brandon Johnson and Kam Buckner are planning. They want to shift the load of 911 calls that don't require police to having health professionals deal with mental health emergencies, housing homeless people, and have violence interrupters break up fights and retaliations. That way the police budget gets reduced and the focus is shifted towards efficiencies in CPD, rather than throwing another billion expecting crime to go down
