It would be nice if the community and police could create a mission statement together, and mutually agreed upon, just for Pahoa. The facilities are very good, and new! The police are often difficult to deal with. LOVE the new trash transfer station. More police on patrol More police force needed in and around Pahoa, including for subdivisions. Puna needs a funcitoning Civil Defense plan. We need more officers. The new Fire /Police Station is wonderful and it is a huge plus to be able to do licensing and registration in Pahoa instead of going into Hilo. The only down side that I can tell is the minimal police presence. They are normally concentrated in one or two areas instead of spreading out. This is the country and the service is starting to get better than it was. There is still a shortage of officers for this area but all areas are always short. The layout of this area makes it very hard for the police department to cover everywhere while on patrol. Fire Department is really as good as it can get for this type of area Some apples and oranges here. County services: fire is generally impeccable, police are rarely to be found, happy to hear the siren on the first Monday, otherwise no opinion. Post Office people are great, but they need a larger facility. There should be more police offciers on different watchs because sometimes there isnt enough. Volunteer fire departments should be established in lower Puna because it takes -30 mins for Pahoa's to reach a fire in Kehena or Seaview or Opihikao. what police patroling puna coast. Th police could have a stronger presence in Pahoa Town. It's been a little different since they moved to the highway. Police should have more presence in town, especially derelict areas like Community Center parking lot & Cash & Carry Government Services Page 2
