Barely trained conscripts as police are a terrible idea. This would get more people killed.

Maybe this works in a medieval town of 2000 people. We don’t live in that world anymore.

Why wouldn't we train them? De-escalation tactics, weapon safety, and first aid should be part of a basic education.

You want an armed person, who can also arrest someone? Sounds like police under a different name.
