Actually with forfeiture laws, you can fund your police forces by seizing the assets of the bad guys. Texas did that and local police forces did a hard press on drug suspects because they tended to have lots of cash, weapons, cars and property the police could sell. Good luck getting them to respond to crimes that didn't have assets like homeless assaults.
Law enforcement can generate revenue, just ask the Morrison police department.
