HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - The Honolulu Police Department is dealing with critically low levels of staffing.
To address the challenges, they’re testing a new pilot project that changes the length of an officer’s work week and daily hours. Their goal is to get more officers on the streets in different shifts — and it appears to be working.
This comes as the search for the next chief nears its 1-year-mark. Digital Reporter Dillon Ancheta sits down with Chief Investigative Reporter Lynn Kawano to dig deeper into the issues HPD is facing.
