There are likely changes to incentives that could be made without disbanding or refunding the police.

Today police, DAs, and judges are all incentivized to close as many big cases as possible. We need these people to be motivated to actually protect the public and help those in need. Police funding, promotions, and recognition could be realigned to much better promote a policing system that focus on actually serving the public rather than catching and punishing as many people as possible.
