Here's some mind-bending stuff from the article:
Luckhurst, 42, now serves as a cop in Benavides, about 150 miles from San Antonio, according to Benavides Police Chief Andre Hines, who said the 2023 hiring “reflects the department’s commitment to honesty and accountability.”
[...]
Bizarrely, that same year, [note: not 2023] Luckhurst was accused of defecating in one of the San Antonio police department’s female restrooms before wiping a brown, feces-like substance on one of the toilet seats, reported the San Antonio Express-News. He reportedly never denied being behind the bathroom incident.
[...]
Hines said Luckhurst’s record in Benavides “has been exemplary, with no complaints or issues reported, and said “a thorough background check” helped ensure “all aspects of his history were carefully considered.”
Apparently "honesty and accountability" is when you harass women and the homeless with your weird poop fetish.
Make crime less opportunistic and generally unnecessary by improving everybody's quality of life through provisions like education, healthcare, minimum basic income, a sense of community, etc.
It statistically lowers crime. Which would lower the need for as many law enforcement agents. Which could lead to better hires. Etc. etc. etc.
Also massively reform the prison system (ban private prisons and have them focus on rehabilitation over punishment, amend the consitution to remove the clause allowing slavery for prisoners, etc.).
There is a clear financial inventive to label more people as criminals, so "crimes" like selling cannabis to adults in half the country can land you in prison.
Of course, this is all US-centric, but the general idea applies to other countries. Norway is probably doing it the best right now (not perfect, but no system is).
