REQUESTS A REPORT FROM COUNTY ADMINISTRATORS REGARDING THE EXTENT
OF COUNTY AGENCYACTIVITY ON MAUNA KEA
RE: Submitting Written Testimony
Aloha,
I represent my Mauna a Wakea and I represent my family who are the linage descendant of
All Moku's (Islands)
I'm Cindy Freitas and I'm a Cultural Traditional Practitioner, and a rightful holder of Mauna a
Wakea.
Hawaii Tribune-Herald I Friday, January 25, 2019,AG stated,
State Attorney General Clare Connors said her office is coordinating the state's response,
which will be in support of the county as the lead agency on Mauna Kea Protest...Keep in
mind that AG and lawmakers were told about this decision.
Who made the decision that the county will be the lead agency and WHY?
I have some question that was stated in West Hawaii today on July 6, 2019 by Mayor Harry
Kim.
Mayor Kim has stated that the county's role is limit and the administration hadn't created a
written report. What is the county's role limited too?
Mayor Kim also said that police have been requested by the state for assistance and police
have been in a planning mode in relation to this request, questions as follows;
1. Who requested by the state (NAME)?
2. What is the planning mode relating to this request?
3. Are the TAX PAYERS paying for this extra request?
This is a list of law enforcement agencies in Hawaii.According to the US Bureau of Justice
Statistics' 2006 Census of State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies, the state had 7 law
enforcement agencies employing 3,254 sworn police officers, about 251 for each 100,000
residents.

Hawaii Population 2019
1,416,589
Based on the most recent estimates released by the US Census, we estimate the 2019
population of Hawaii at 1.42 million.
At the 2010 census the population of Hawaii was declared at a total of 1,360,301. Estimates
of the population are produced in the years between censuses - and in 2015, this number had
risen to 1,431.603.
This represents a 5.2% increase from the 1.36 million recorded during the 2010 Census.
According to the Hawai'i Police Commission regular session minutes forApril 12, 2019,
Crime Report: went up through March 31, 2019, there were 6,122 serious crimes. The
Criminal Investigation Units investigated only 681 of those cases. Puna and Shipman
Industrial Park has unauthorized entry of motor vehicles and Kona is the third highest theft
going on....
I don't think that county have the man power nor the time to go ahead and move these police
offices to assist with the state on Mauna Kea when their jobs are max out.
I also want to say that the County are serving the interests of the people of our island ,
therefore, please do what is right for the people of the island as well.
Mahalo,
