Police to Hold Community Meeting Thursday in North Kohala

The Hawaii Police Department will hold a community meeting Thursday, Feb. 21, in Kapa`au in North Kohala.

The meeting is scheduled from noon to 2 p.m. at the Kohala Intergenerational Center on the Akoni Pule Highway.

The purpose of the meeting is to give the public an opportunity to meet the department’s command staff and to discuss police-related concerns with police Chief Harry Kubojiri and commanders in the district.

To aid police commanders in focusing on specific community concerns, they ask that participation be limited to persons who live or work in the North Kohala District.

Those interested in participating but who are unable to attend may email their concerns or comments to copsysop@hawaiipolice.com. For further information, North Kohala Capt. Albert Jason Cortez can be reached at 889-6540.

Police community meetings are rotated throughout the Big Island’s eight police districts.
