URGING THE DEPARTMENT OF HAWAIIAN HOME LANDS TO ADOPT AND IMPLEMENT A NEIGHBORHOOD SECURITY WATCH IN EACH HOMESTEAD AREA.

This Senate Resolution urges the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands to establish Neighborhood Security Watch programs in every homestead area, starting with Kanehili. The bill responds to reports of rising illegal activities and inconsistent law enforcement responses on lands that currently lack standard zoning or immediate police access. It proposes a system where trained community volunteers work alongside police to patrol neighborhoods, gather information, and help address local safety issues. By formalizing this volunteer effort, the resolution aims to improve community safety and streamline cooperation between residents and government agencies.
