Hpd Official in Oahu
đ¨ HPD NEWS RELEASE - Oahu HPD to Keep Certain Youth Programs Unchanged Amid Patrol Staffing Changes đ Location: Oahu đ Date: October 19, 2026 Our community has called for more officers on patrol, and the Honolulu Police Department is committed to answering that call. At the same time, HPD continues to face a significant overtime budget deficit, requiring us to make difficult decisions about how we allocate our resources to address both issues. HPD made the tough call to return officers from non-patrol elements back to the road. This move will be instrumental in ensuring we have enough officers for improved response times, and more importantly, to increase officer safety. In the last few days, while evaluating the priority of our programs, HPD has heard from the community, and we agree on the importance of our youth programs. As a result, we managed to keep the Police Activities League (PAL) in place, as well as the Junior Police Officer (JPO) program with no changes. We will continue to maintain the Police Services Officer program (formerly known as the Cadet program), and the Law Enforcement Explorers program, in addition to the School Resource Officer program. đ Have info?
