Hawaiʻi Police Chief Reed Mahuna is hosting his next informal “Talk Story with the Chief” session in Kailua-Kona on Wednesday.

Reflecting his commitment to community engagement, Mahuna is leading these sessions to strengthen communication and connection between police leadership and the community.

The meetings rotate throughout Hawaiʻi Island, providing residents an opportunity to meet directly with Mahuna and district commanders to share concerns, ask questions, and discuss public safety issues in an open, conversational setting.

The informal format is intentional and reflects the department’s goal of being accessible and responsive to the community.

The session will run from noon to 2 p.m. on Wednesday, July 29, at the West Hawaiʻi Civic Center, 74-5044 Ane Keohokālole Highway in Kailua-Kona.
