Waikiki's Safe and Sound program, implemented since 2022, has reduced drug and alcohol-related crimes by 48 percent, robberies by 19 percent, burglaries by 30 percent, and criminal property damage by 22 percent.

The Waikiki Safe and Sound program operates through collaboration between the Mayor's Office, Honolulu Police Department, Honolulu Prosecuting Attorney's Office, local businesses, and community partners.

Urges the Mayor of the City and County of Honolulu, Honolulu Police Department, and Honolulu Prosecuting Attorney's Office to implement similar Safe and Sound programs in Ewa Beach, Kapolei, and Waianae.

Requires certified copies of the resolution be transmitted to the Mayor, Chief of Police, Honolulu Prosecuting Attorney, and Honolulu City Council Members representing districts I and IV.
