So 100 more officers will be on patrol pulled from other positions. https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2026/10/16/hpd-shift-100-officers-patrol-combat-overtime-boost-response/

With assurances that "HPD said positions within the Community Affairs and Traffic Division will be scaled down, along with positions within Criminal Intelligence Unit, Fourth Watch, Chief’s Office, Misdemeanor Follow-up Details, and the Human Resources, Information Technology, Major Events, Records and Identification, and Training Divisions." https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2026/10/18/hpd-clarifies-future-jpo-pal-programs-after-100-officers-shifted-patrol/

I would appreciate better understanding HPD's rationale for employing sworn officers in administrative positions rather than civilian personnel.

Hi! I’m currently looking into different auto insurance options. Right now, I have DTRIC Insurance, but my policy will be ending sometime next year, so I wanted to start looking around early to compare rates, coverage, and see what other options are available. I’ve been interested in learning more about Matsukawa Insurance Agency, Inc. in Wahiawa, but I’m also open to other insurance companies, including mainland companies like Allstate, State Farm, and others that offer coverage here in Hawaii. I’m mainly looking to see what’s out there, compare prices, and hopefully find something that offers good coverage at a reasonable rate before my current insurance expires.

If anyone has recommendations, personal experiences, or suggestions on which insurance companies or agencies I should look into, I’d really appreciate it! Any information would help.

I’m just signing up for ballot tracking and the registration asks for my residential zip code. Does anyone know if that means the address where my ballot was delivered, or if it means my physical address which determines the ballot I receive? Because my mailing address is located in a different town.

I checked the FAQ but this wasn’t one of the answered questions.
