Derrick Parks, Defunding the Police is absolutely a bad idea.
Derrick Parks is the CEO of Metropolitan Protective Services, Inc. which has over 500 employees who are guards etc. He used to be the assistant chief of police for a town in Maryland.
Defunding the Police is absolutely a bad idea. The way to change the culture of policing.. start with training, the police unions, and officer bill of rights...all need to be reviewed and re evaluate.
