HAWAII COUNTY POLICE DEPARTMENT
BUDGET MESSAGE 1999-2000
The Hawaii County Police Department is submitting a proposed
budget for Fiscal Year 1999-2000 of $30,041,489. The amount
is $355,497, or 1.2 percent, less than the $30,396,986
budgeted for Fiscal Year 1998-1999.
The County Administration initially made a $2,578,597 cutback
in the Police Department's original budget request and
restored all but $355,497. It is our hope that all of the
remaining proposed cuts will be restored by the Council.
Of the $30,041,489 proposed for fiscal 1999-2000, a total of
$21,858,295 (72.8%) is earmarked for salaries and wages
accounts, $8,038,111 (26.8%) for other current expense
accounts and $145,083 (0.58) for equipment accounts. The
salaries and wages accounts are broken down this way:
$19,747,171 (90.3%) for regular salaries and wages, $1,606,950
(7.48) for overtime wages and $504,174 (2.3%) for
miscellaneous salaries and wages.
By comparison, of the $30,396,986 earmarked in the current
fiscal 1998-99 budget, $21,631,382 (71.2%) is budgeted in
salaries and wages accounts, $8,405,379 (27.7%) in other
current expense accounts and $360,225 (1.2%) in equipment
accounts. The salaries and wages accounts are further broken
down into $19,556,158 (90.4%) for regular salaries and wages,
$1,606,950 (7.4%) for overtime wages and $468,274 (2.2%) for
miscellaneous salaries and wages.
In both budgets, more than 70 percent of the funds are
earmarked for salaries and wages, costs that can't be reduced
without laying off employees. So cuts were made elsewhere.

telephone lines, eliminate of some maintenance agreements for
office equipment and slow progress on microfilming reports to free
up records storage space. We may also have to rely on other
County agencies such as Parks and Recreation or Public Works to
remove our trash, since we will not be able to afford any
increases in bids to remove trash from our stations. A reduction
in fuel and lubricant funding may force the Department to curtail
transportation costs at a time when service calls are increasing,
thereby increasing mileage traveled, especially in rural districts
that cover vast areas.
In summary, the cutbacks will:
• Require the Department to curtail private investigator
services for Police Commission investigations as well as
cut back on Commission visits to rural districts outside
Hilo.
• Require the Department to cut back in criminal
investigation surveillance activities through a $40,000 cut
in the Special Operations Fund, a $20,000 cut for the Hilo
Criminal Investigation Division and a $5,000 cut for the
Kona Criminal Investigation Division. The decreased
surveillance of organized crime will likely encourage
organized criminal activities to increase, and it may
affect the safety of police officers.
• Force the Department to reduce training, which means
officers will not be fully trained in new investigative
techniques and developments to keep abreast of new
procedures and technology frequently critical in solving
crimes and in prosecution.
• Cause the Department to defer the replacement of old
equipment, leading to increased repair, maintenance and
service costs.

and restored most of the cutbacks. We are grateful for the
administration's restoration of funds and urge the County Council
members to give serious consideration to approving the proposed
bond sale.
The Police Department fully realizes the current state of the
economy in Hawaii and on the Big Island in particular. It
understands the necessity of tightening its belt until the
economy improves. However, the Police Department -- like the
Fire Department and the Civil Defense Agency -- is a core agency
of county government. Our missions are to protect the public
against criminal activity, against major accidents such as
traffic collisions and fire and against natural disasters. Our
services are basic and essential to the operation of government
and society.
Because of this, we request that the $355,457 in remaining cuts
to the Police Department budget be restored so we can fulfill our
mission as a law enforcement agency and adequately provide the
safety and health services that the public expects and deserves.
