Bill > SR195

This resolution urges the Mayor of Honolulu, the Honolulu Police Department, and the Honolulu Prosecuting Attorney's Office to collaborate with local businesses and community partners to implement Safe and Sound programs in Ewa Beach, Kapolei, and Waianae, following the successful model established in Waikiki in 2022. The resolution highlights the effectiveness of the existing Safe and Sound program in Waikiki, which has demonstrated significant crime reduction, including approximately 48% fewer drug and alcohol-related crimes, 19% fewer robberies, 30% fewer burglaries, and 22% fewer incidents of criminal property damage. By extending this collaborative approach to West Oahu communities, the resolution aims to prevent and address crime in these areas through a coordinated effort involving local government, law enforcement, businesses, and community organizations. The resolution also calls for transmitting copies of the document to key city officials, including the Mayor, Police Chief, Prosecuting Attorney, and City Council Members representing the relevant districts.
