I've seen the debates online about reducing funding to police.

Thoughts?

Looking at Calgary's budget online - 14% of the spending goes to Police services (its a higher percentage if you exclude the portion that goes to the province) - by far the highest spending chunk of the budget outside of what the province takes. 1% to social programs, 0.49% for affordable housing.
