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

SR 171 is a non-binding Senate resolution urging the City and County of Honolulu to complete the Waianae Police Station. The resolution states that $16 million was already spent on the station's structure (including holding cells, parking, and a radio tower) but an additional $6 million is needed to install necessary infrastructure for full operation. It highlights that the station has been non-functional for about 10 years despite rising homicides in West Oahu - over half of Oahu's 2023-2024 homicides occurred in District Eight (covering West Oahu). The resolution directs copies to the Mayor, Managing Director, and Police Chief to prompt action on completing the station.
