I'm no expert in policing, but in regards to your suggestion of breaking up police stations into smaller "wards," they already have smaller precincts covering small areas. For example, when I lived in Manhattan, they had a precinct covering only about 30 blocks or so - separate ones for the East side and West side. And while I do agree that the police need to engage in more community building initiatives, I believe police are usually assigned to particular beats. I for one often recognized the same police patrolling my neighborhood.
And how can we trust people to hire their own police men? Would they be qualified? Properly trained? How can we be sure they wouldn't be corrupted or beholden to those who hired them? Who would be ultimately accountable for them.
Everything is so volatile now because of COVID-19, I'm not sure how any one can make informed decisions... there's just so much we don't know about this horrible virus.
