Agree

Yes

The Citizens Party (formerly Citizens Electoral Council) has historically advocated for increased investment in public infrastructure and social programs, but not at the expense of essential services like policing. They are critical of neoliberal cuts to public services, but have not called for defunding police. They may support some redirection of funding to social programs, but not a wholesale shift.

Disagree

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

While the Citizens Party may support some community-based responses, they have not advocated for replacing police with unarmed responders. Their focus is more on economic reform than radical changes to policing, so they would likely see this as unrealistic or unsafe.
