SUPPORTING HAWAII'S LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND GREATLY APPRECIATING THE SACRIFICES MADE TO PROTECT AND SERVE OUR COMMUNITIES.

This bill is a House Concurrent Resolution that expresses appreciation for law enforcement officers in Hawaii and calls for increased support for them. It does not create new laws or change policies but serves as a formal statement of recognition and encouragement for police officers who protect communities. The resolution highlights the challenges officers face, including high rates of trauma, suicide, and staffing shortages, while urging government leaders to provide better equipment, training, and mental health resources. Copies of the resolution will be sent to state and local police chiefs as a gesture of support.
