No states defunded police statewide post-2020; actions were city-level. Key examples: Austin cut ~$150M (2021), diverted to housing/mental health, but reversed amid crime spikes, increasing to $443M by 2022. Seattle diverted $10M+ to community services, launching CARE for non-police responses—handled 4K+ calls by 2025, reducing unhoused numbers. Minneapolis/Portland saw initial cuts, but most cities boosted funding by 2022 due to rising crime (e.g., homicides up XX% nationally 2020-21, later stabilized). Outcomes mixed: some progress in alternatives, but backlash led to reversals and state laws penalizing cuts. Diverse analyses show no direct funding-crime link, with pandemic factors key.
