| Message | Read the bill again. We currently have 2 seperate police departments. It's a waste of money. Our intention is to amalgamate these 2 departments into 1 solid National Police Department. |

| Message | I think that having the local and federal police departments are a good idea. If we have one national one then it could be spread to thin and not be able to stop crimes. But with local departments we can protect and serve all people with a federal one to oversee protection. |

| Message | I would actually propose that only local governments have a police department, wish are subsidized by federal funding rather than having two or rather than having one big federal police force. Local governments know how to handle situations in their respective states better than the federal government can, so leave it to the local governments and get federal government out of the way. |

| Message | The Federal Government should be pre-occupied with national security (which we are via the military) and external threats and foreign affairs, while states should be worried about their individual internal security. |
