Bill > SCR220

This concurrent 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 the West Oahu areas of Ewa Beach, Kapolei, and Waianae. The resolution is based on the success of a similar program in Waikiki, which since its 2022 implementation has demonstrated significant crime reduction, including a 48% decrease in drug and alcohol-related crimes, a 19% reduction in robberies, a 30% drop in burglaries, and a 22% decline in criminal property damage incidents. The resolution calls for these agencies to work together to replicate this collaborative approach to crime prevention in the specified West Oahu communities, with the ultimate goal of improving public safety. Additionally, the resolution directs that certified copies be sent to the Mayor, Police Chief, Prosecuting Attorney, and City Council Members representing the relevant districts to ensure proper communication and potential implementation of the recommended program.
