conspiracy theories I think that we really need to advance as much as we possibly can. I am in complete support of 5G towers and I really don't mind sharing my neighborhood with them. So, I just hope that you can take this to heart. I understand and I hear the words of a lot of people that fear this kind of change. I'm also told by my own children that the amount of radiation that is let off from these is no more than a remote control from a television set. So, I am, and these are kids that have just graduated from Ivy League Universities. I really hope that you continue with this program and we need this right now we're in a world pandemic. We're in a time of massive change, we need to be educating our children, we need to be able to have access to meetings such as this and I really think that 5G is our avenue to be able to do this. Aloha, thank you so much. RAFFIPIY: Thank you very much Ms. Meyers. Do you have any questions from the Commission for Ms. Meyers? MEYERS: I have no further questions. I just really, I just want you to take my heartfelt support. RAFFIPIY: Thank you very much appreciate it. At this time, we're going to have Major Andrew Burian from the Hawaii Police Department. Mr. Burian you're on. BURIAN: Thank you. Good morning Commissioners. This confirms our earlier written testimony that was submitted on February of 2020. RAFFIPIY: Excuse me Mr. Burian can you turn on your video please. BURIAN: I do not have video. RAFFIPIY: Oh, okay go ahead. BURIAN: Our Department supports the application to build this wireless communication facility in Hawaiian Paradise Park because of its benefit to public safety. In concert with the County owned Land Mobile Radio system, our Department and its officers depend upon cellular coverage to do their jobs efficiently. In the event of poor Land Mobile Radio coverage or reception cellular coverage may provide a vital means of communication which helps ensure officers safety, and in turn increases public safety. The site being considered in Hawaiian Paradise Park is vital for building our network for our community and will provide a more reliable network for our department, other emergency services, and the public. As an example, our Department is increasingly using mobile data terminals (MDT's) which are in the vehicles of our officers, our subsidized vehicles. These rely on a cellular connection they do not rely on the Land Mobile Radio system. This echo's what Chief Todd had said the two (2) systems are distinct. Land Mobile Radio will not be eliminated in anytime in the near future that is essential for our communications. But the cellular network is also essential for our Department and the functions that we conduct. EXHIBIT B 9
