REQUESTING THE PROMOTION AND EXPANSION OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU NEIGHBORHOOD SECURITY WATCH PROGRAM.

This House Concurrent Resolution (HCR) requests the City and County of Honolulu to promote and expand its existing Neighborhood Security Watch Program. The resolution specifically asks the city to establish a pilot program providing minimal funding - such as quarterly mailers for participating homes and support for regular meetings - to active community groups already operating under the volunteer-run program. It directs the Honolulu Police Department to oversee the pilot funding and requests potential expansion to other communities if the pilot proves successful. The resolution does not create new law but urges the city to enhance an existing program that currently involves approximately 12,000 residents across Oahu.
