In a lot of countries the regular policeman you meet on the street have no firearms on them and yet have lower crime rates than the US.
“Policing” effectively does not require violence. Why do American cops always throw people on the ground and/or force their arms when cuffing them? If they’re unarmed and cooperative that’s entirely unnecessary, yet it seems standard practice there.
Also, the continued use of “law enforcement” over “police” and “cops” is one of the greatest acts of newspeak. You aren’t against enforcing the law are you? That would make you an anarchist and a terrorist
I’m not an expert copolist, and I’m almost sure this is not the only reason, but it seems somewhat easier to keep crime at bay when not every four year old can just carry an AR15 with a rocket launcher and plasma gun attachment.
Police is necessary but in USA it sure does require some serious defunding and alternatives. For example what Mandani tries to do.

Something needs to fill the role of civil protection services
Though, how to do that without encouraging corruption, i dunno
Robot cops…? Can’t be corrupted if you’re a cold, unfeeling machine. Right? 🤔
You’ve shifted the problem of corruption from the cops to the programmers
Unless you make their code open source, but even then, there’s still a person/entity responsible for managing the code
Computers aren’t divorced from human biases. They do exactly what you’ve told them to do, even if you didn’t intend for the exact outcome.
There’s no “do the right thing” instruction. You have to mathematically define what “the right thing” is as a series of numerical instructions
Are you going to replace the commissioner / police chiefs and top brass with AI as well? Otherwise, the benefits would be limited.
