My city of about 25k doesn't suffer from a lot of the issues outlined in the OP, there's actually little enough police incidents in the area that the three closest towns all share the same paper of record and all the things that happened in about half a page of the paper. We're talking about every non traffic incident. "Dude was looking suspicious in a parking lot and then dissipated" level of detail. Key things to note is this city has about 16 officers including a city chief. Has no SWAT, and is contracted with the county sheriff's department for their authority. How much of the problem is the scale of police departments versus the per-capita officers to people they're supposed to be serving? There's another peculiar detail about this city that adds an interesting wrinkle to this but I don't particularly want to bring it up if I don't have to because it basically makes me open to doxxing. I will say that there is for some reason about 20 more officers than the city contract employs in the city limits at any given moment.

I'm of the mind that there needs to be a separate auditor office for not just peace officers but for records management as well. They would have three duties
I would think that they should be managed at the state or national level, their point of existence would be to improve and make government functions more transparent and accountable, they could go after everyone who has government mandated authority to charge others with crimes, this would mean everyone from traffic cops, IRS agents to military actions taken on domestic soil. But I'm a big socialist so my answer is more new government
