URGING THE MAYOR OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU, HONOLULU POLICE DEPARTMENT, AND 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.

This resolution urges the Mayor of Honolulu, Honolulu Police Department, and Prosecuting Attorney's Office to collaborate with local businesses and community partners to implement Safe and Sound crime-reduction programs in Ewa Beach, Kapolei, and Waianae. It references the successful Waikiki Safe and Sound program (which reduced drug/alcohol crimes by 48% and other crimes since 2022) as a model for replication. The resolution does not create new law but recommends expanding this collaborative approach to the specified West Oahu areas to address crime.
