We have lovely new buildings to house these services however we sorely lack the police staff to adequately service the population Police and Postal services in the housing tracts as Nanawale Estates is almost non - existent. the police should be on the road more often trying to catch all the bad people speeding on the road Although there is adequate "coverage" the size of the Pahoa area mandates that there be a greater degree of services, especially in police and fire services These services have been greatly improved with the addition of the new fire and police station that is located between Makuu Drive and Pahoa town. However, the police must patrol not only HHP and Pahoa town area, but the greater Puna district towns of Kalapana and Ainaloa and everything in- between up to Keaau. More police and fire personnel are needed to adequately and effective service this entire area. The new police /fire stations are a big plus. I am however still very uncomfortable walking the streets of pahoa town (especially near Cash & Carry & the restaurant strip). There are far too many shady characters walking the streets. With the new fire and police stations we are sitting in the catbird seat. Now we need twice the number of troopers out on patrol. What we have is good as far as it goes within the town. We need police on the ground in town. love the new facility, but only 8 police on duty at one time ... not enough for the Puna District Not enough police on staff to take care of Pahoa town, little lone the entier area of Puna. Post office is quite small for a large surrounding community. maybe more positive community interfacing with police? even though there is a police /fire station nearby and post office, it seems there is routinely violence breaking out in pahoa town that makes it unattractive to visit. There are not enough officers for the size of Puna Government Services Page 3
