However, after a surge in various crimes such as homicides and shootings, officials have taken steps to increase funding for law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>New York decided to cut funding from their law enforcement agencies after defund the police movements urged leaders to make changes. However, a&nbsp;77 percent increase in shootings in March prompted New York to raise funding for law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe task force said it was important to address on a budget level the need to focus more on our young people, the need to make a clear statement that our investments and our young people are our future,\u201d Mayor Bill De Blasio (D-N.Y.) announced. \u201cPolicing matters, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Democrats defunded the police.<\/p>\n<p>Crime in those cities skyrocketed.<\/p>\n<p>Now Democrats are trying to blame Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>But everyone knows the truth: Democrats are the party of <br \/>defund the police.<\/p>\n<p>RETWEET TO EXPOSE THEM \u2193 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/54cSPeINEp\">pic.twitter.com\/54cSPeINEp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Steve Scalise (@SteveScalise) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SteveScalise\/status\/1410627044082323457?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 1, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, homicides in Pennsylvania have increased 34 percent this year. Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Penn.) weighed in by saying calls to defund the police have escalated crime.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think there are other sources of this problem. It\u2019s probably complex,\u201d he explained. \u201cIt\u2019s probably multilayered, but a contributing factor is probably this movement that\u2019s so hostile to police. The idea of defunding the police. The idea that police are systemically racist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Los Angeles also cut police funding last year, but the mayor recently proposed a funding increase after seeing more shootings and murders. The city has seen an almost 30 percent increase in homicides so far this year. Both Minneapolis and Seattle also want to replenish their police force following an uptick in crime on black Americans after cutting funds.<\/p>\n<p>In June, Joe Biden announced more funding for police departments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe president has never supported defunding the police. He\u2019s always supported community policing programs,\u201d Press Secretary Jen Psaki stated. \u201cHe\u2019s supported giving funding to states and localities around the country, including through his American Rescue Plan, because he thinks there is an essential role to play for community policing.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">What I\u2019ve Confirmed after being both a Chief of Police &amp; Sheriff<\/p>\n<p>To Recruit, Test, Evaluate, Train &amp; Retain Outstanding Law Enforcement Officers is a costly endeavor<\/p>\n<p>Accountability, Oversight &amp; Culture Change doesn\u2019t come cheap<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s FUNDING Law Enforcement \ud83d\ude94 that\u2019s necessary <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6lDwtu2FvE\">pic.twitter.com\/6lDwtu2FvE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Sheriff Russell L.
