URGING THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU TO COMPLETE THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE WAIANAE POLICE STATION.

This Senate Concurrent Resolution (SCR 190) urges the City and County of Honolulu to complete construction of the Waianae Police Station, which opened in 2016 but remains non-operational due to unfinished infrastructure. The resolution notes $16 million has already been spent on the station's structure (including 16 holding cells and parking), with an additional $6 million needed to install necessary equipment and systems. It cites rising crime in West Oahu - including over half of Oahu's homicides in 2023-2024 occurring in the Waianae area - as context for the urgency. The resolution does not create new law but formally requests Honolulu officials complete the project to make the station fully functional.
