HR 212 Hawaii House · 2025 Regular Session

COMMENDING AND HONORING THE LEADERS OF THE KAPOLEI NEIGHBORHOOD SECURITY WATCH GROUPS FOR THEIR DEDICATION TO COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, COMMITMENT TO PUBLIC SAFETY, AND LEADERSHIP IN EXPANDING NEIGHBORHOOD SECURITY WATCH PROGRAMS ACROSS OAHU.

This is a ceremonial resolution (HR 212), not a law. It formally commends the Kapolei Neighborhood Security Watch groups for their community safety efforts, including crime prevention initiatives, partnerships with Honolulu Police Department, and expanding Neighborhood Security Watch programs across Oahu. The resolution specifically recognizes their work in shutting down drug houses, organizing safety workshops, and mentoring similar groups in communities like Ewa Beach, Kalihi, and Molokai. It expresses legislative appreciation for their contributions to public safety and community engagement but does not create new legal requirements or funding.
