No. Everyone is charged with public safety. It's inconceivable from a capitalist dystopia, but when problems like poverty, social isolation, food insecurity, and discriminatory practices are addressed early, crime is less of an issue. Capitalism needs police because addressing the issues I mentioned means flattening the hierarchy. The goal is to abolish wealth as well as poverty in an egalitarian society.
