Part of the problem is that police are being tasked with the impossible: to increase closure rates on crimes for which they have little evidence.
This is part of us in Canada both underfunding social services _and_ offloading the defence of person and property on to the state.
If we properly funded mental health, low income housing and food banks and also allowed citizens to defend their property and their family... Well I suspect that police would have less to do.
