There’s no practical reason that investigative services would need to be provided by the police, and many good reasons it shouldn’t be. As well, would a rapid response service still be the police if their other functions have been stripped away? Would an independent investigative service or traffic enforcement still also be the police?
As well, focussing on the small minority that are convicted of heinous violent crimes is a distraction from the actual issues in my opinion. I like to believe we can come together as a society and brainstorm a better system.

Yes. The branch of law in charge of enforcement are and always will be cops no matter what form they take.

Yes, there is. When investigating potentially dangerous suspects or areas, it’s important to have people trained to deal with that. Like actually trained, unlike present forces.
It’s a small portion that commit violent crimes, but violent crimes are not the only ones that create risk to others. You need to have investigatory forces for safety standards, both in the work place and on the roads, even in a socialist society.
Plus, a small number of violent criminals can disproportionately enforce fear upon a larger population if not dealt with properly by the law, so it is a necessary consideration.

While it is often overstated by an incredible margin (see Chicago for a prime example) that doesn’t make violent crimes not actual issues. It’s important to see issues as proportionate as they are, but also realize that dealing with small issues is still important, especially as to keep them from blossoming into larger ones.

Our system is broken. Police as they are need to be abolished and burned to the ground as an institution, replaced with a force that isn’t built on a foundation of violence and protecting the rich.
