A partial solution is quite simple: Separate violent crime police from administrative police. This is actually the point of police defunding. You don't need to SWAT unit, or even a firearm to respond to traffic violations, noise complaints, loitering, or domestic abuse.

Actually on the last point many times you do need a firearm or other options during domestic abuse calls.
