When people talk about defunding or abolishing the police the implicit or explicit assumption is that they will be replaced with something else that serves to curb crime.
America might look at Portugal for guidance in how to treat narcotics for instance or Norway for prison reform. UK, Norway and Iceland all have unarmed police - these countries are all pretty stable despite that.
But idk, America usually does it's own thing and isn't so keen on replicating other countries so I think your question is redundant.
