Honolulu Wants To Put More Cameras In Public Parks To Reduce Crime

Many more of Honolulu’s parks would be subject to video surveillance under a one-year pilot program recently approved by the City Council. But it’s unclear when the rollout will begin because the city still needs to identify funding sources, according to council member Radiant Cordero, who introduced the resolution.

The city did not respond to a range of other questions on the timeline, cost and installation details. The resolution doesn’t specify when work needs to begin and Cordero said via email she is working with the Honolulu Police Department, the city’s Department of Information Technology and the City Council to get the money for the program.
