Aloha,
Michael and I are back from a splendid vacation to Alaska, visiting our families and taking in the quaint Bavarian village of Leavenworth, WA.
Our guest speakers on Wednesday were 3 fine HPD officers who work the Mililani, Wahiawa, North Shore area. The Sergeant reported the following: * we have 5 beats in the Mililani area * during the 2 week period of July 3 - 16 the following occurred in Mililani: stolen vehicles (4), Burglary (13), UMV (18), as well as thefts, graffiti complaints and shoplifting. * GOOD NEWS: 2 arrests were made of the major players. * homelessness is not a crime and the police can only do something fi permission is given from the land owner.
SAFETY TIPS: * criminals are lazy and must move quickly SO: * lock car and home doors and do not leave items in full view to be stolen. * to prevent on-line scams, protect devices with password, fire walls and pop-up blockers. Protect your financial information. *Use Credit instead of Debit cards and check statements and accounts often. * look for HTPS or HDPTS on an internet site for authenticity.
Q & A Problem raised of traffic jams at Mililani Mauka Elementary school, when parents drop off students on public streets and bus stops for THE BUS. Recommend to work with school and inform parents of proper policy.
