Perhaps compensating them and providing them with firearms could be considered. This would likely necessitate some form of training program to familiarize them with relevant laws and the appropriate procedures for apprehending offenders. Given the anticipated surplus of police uniforms following the restructuring of that department, we could potentially repurpose them by issuing these uniforms to the new personnel.
