Mayor Caldwell Advances Waikīkī Public Safety Agenda Volume XX No. 03 March 2019 Mayor Caldwell Advances Waikīkī Public Safety Agenda By Rick Egged Wednesday, February 27, 2019, exactly a year after the 2018 Waikīkī Public Safety Conference, Mayor Kirk Caldwell announced implementation of the major components of the conference recommendations. Along with the Honolulu Police Department (HPD) and financial sponsors the Hawai‘i Tourism Authority (HTA) and the Waikīkī Business Improvement District Association (WBIDA) the Mayor announced a public safety package. "Waikiki is one of the safest visitor destinations in the entire world, and we want to make sure our visitors always feel comfortable in this very special place," said Mayor Caldwell. "We especially thank the visitor industry partners, and in particular the Hawai'i Tourism Authority and the Waikiki Business Improvement District Association, for stepping up and providing hundreds of thousands of dollars for new security cameras. When the installation is pau, the Waikīkī district will have at least 50 surveillance cameras to help police in their mission to keep both visitors and residents safe while they celebrate life in one of the most incredible places on the planet.” (L-R) Rick Egged, President, WIA; Ross S Saamura, P.E.

Each new camera must be approved by a resolution passed by the Honolulu City Council. "We are appreciative of this collaborative effort with the City and County of Honolulu that will support HPD's efforts to make Waikīkī safer for residents and visitors," said Chris Tatum, president and CEO of the Hawai'i Tourism Authority. "With the support of the Hawai'i's tourism industry and state government leadership, we will continue to work with the counties to invest our communities." "The safety of our visitors, residents, and workers is important to the continued aloha of Waikīkī;' added Jennifer Nakayama, president of the Waikīkī Business Improvement District Association. "Safety is always the top priority, no matter if you are a visitor from afar or locals that have lived here all their life. The WBIDA and our Board of Directors are proud to be a part of this important project's funding, as this equipment will enhance HPD's ability to monitor Waikīkī for the safety of all." Robust HPD presence • The Waikīkī District deploys a combination of plainclothes and uniformed officers on foot, in cars, and on bikes and ATVs to prevent, respond to, and investigate crimes • HPD bike patrol officers are starting and finishing their work later. Their hours are from 10 a.m. to 6:45 p.m., Tuesdays through Saturdays • New Officers are being deployed in Waikīkī as part of training. New officers work from the early evening to the early morning hours; the number of new officers depends on the size of the graduating class • Enforcing curfew hours (unaccompanied children 16 years of age and younger cannot be on the streets between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m.) HPD partners with the visitor industry and community groups to promote a safe environment for visitors, residents and workers. New concessions The Department of Parks and Recreation is working with the Department of Enterprise Services to award concessions or create partnerships at pavilions two, three, and four located on the makai-side of Kalākaua Avenue Pavilion one near Kūhiō Beach Park has been home to Kūhiō Grill since June 2017. The goal is to make these pavilions more inviting, while also adding service to Waikīkī. continued Page 2, March 2019 Page 2 Waikīkī Wikiwiki Wire Continued from previous page Removal of concrete benches/walls Concrete benches/walls where bad elements were known to gather have been removed at the following locations: Avalon Commercial and Outrigger Waikīkī Beach Resort.
