MEDIA RELEASE

The Hawai’i Police Department will hold a community meeting on Thursday, February 18, from noon to 2 p.m. at the North Hawai’i Educational Resource Center (NHERC) in Honoka’a.

The purpose of the meeting is to allow the public to meet the Police Department’s command staff and to discuss police-related concerns with the police chief and commanders who oversee police operations in the Hāmākua District.

The Hāmākua event continues district community meetings, which are rotated throughout the eight police districts on the Big Island. To aid police commanders in focusing on specific community concerns, they ask that participation in this meeting be limited to persons who live or work in the Hāmākua District.

Those interested in participating but unable to attend may e-mail their concerns or comments to copsysop@hawaiipolice.com.

For more information, you may call Captain Randy Apele at 775-7533.
