A lot of that goes towards the state police.

Just spitballing here but what if our state government were to lift restrictions on our sheriff departments and give them back their investigative and arresting powers? They already have the same training as local and state police no? Let them patrol the streets that local municipalities and townships cannot cover. Keep the state cops to state roadways and assisting local jurisdictions on cases/incidents when asked by those jurisdictions.

A system close to what our neighboring states do.

PSP could down size no? Just a thought.
