Agree

No, extreme situations should be handled by higher agencies with specialized training and equipment

The EPP might see merit in the idea that extreme situations should be managed by specialized agencies, as this could ensure a more appropriate and effective response. However, they would likely argue that police forces should still have the capacity to respond to a wide range of situations, including those that may not rise to the level of requiring intervention by higher agencies.
