“Some states make protecting and serving the public in a law enforcement career more appealing than others,” explained Cassandra Happe, an analyst with the report. “The best states for police officers offer competitive compensation, supplemented by solid training that helps minimize the chances of deadly violence between officers and civilians. State-level policies like ‘red flag laws’ or ‘Blue Alerts’ also contribute to a better environment for police.”

Some of the proactive measures being employed by the top ranked states have potential to set up Hawaii’s law enforcement officers for success in their work as well as in the community.

For example, Illinois and Connecticut have developed what is known as “red flag” laws and “Blue Alerts”. These systems strategies allow police officers to handle issues like mental health crises and the use of force that reduce job hazards for police while improving outcomes in police-community interactions.

Ultimately, this report emphasizes the importance of resource allocation, training and policy in shaping the effectiveness and safety of law enforcement.

Didn't see them mention how the execution of a court order to confiscate firearms actually puts Cops in a potentially violent circumstance they would not normally be in.  Most people who are having a "crisis" do not resort to violence, but Cops showing up to confiscate guns without a valid warrant may create that situation.

Warrants are issued by the courts for arrests and/or searches and seizures.

These red flag courts only issue civil orders.  No crime is suspected to have been committed.  Totally sidesteps the Constitution.
