HPD reports July district calls, urges 14‑day disaster kit

Lieutenant Nishimura of the Honolulu Police Department provided the board with the district’s July public‑safety figures and offered a preparedness reminder.

"Motor vehicle theft, 3, burglary, 2, theft, 43, UEMV, or car break‑ins were 6, with total calls for service in the district at 5,475," Lieutenant Nishimura reported, and recommended that residents prepare a 14‑day disaster kit.

The lieutenant outlined basic items for a 14‑day kit — water, food, utensils, a radio and flashlight with extra batteries, a cell phone and charging plan, sanitation and medical items, pet supplies and important documents — and pointed listeners to the Honolulu City and County Department of Emergency Management website for official guidance.

Board members did not raise questions about the statistics; the presentation was offered as an informational community safety update. The HPD safety tip came amid broader meeting discussion about storm impacts and infrastructure readiness.
