AI Summary

This Resolution urges all counties in Hawaii to improve their coordination of police enforcement and public awareness efforts regarding the dangers of unleashed dogs in public areas. It emphasizes the need for better cooperation between county police, state park enforcement, and animal welfare organizations, such as humane societies, to address incidents of dog attacks on humans and other animals. The resolution highlights that dog bites are a significant cause of emergency room visits and that current enforcement roles can be unclear, leading to confusion for those affected by attacks. Therefore, it calls for stronger enforcement of leash laws, clearer communication about enforcement responsibilities, and public education campaigns to make public spaces safer for everyone.
