AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Local Public Safety: Honolulu Police Chief David Lazar says he wants to cut HPD’s hiring timeline from 6–12 months to about 90 days by moving exams online, using Zoom interviews, and recording agility tests—aimed at easing staffing shortages as vacancies climb. Waste & Environment: Mayor Rick Blangiardi is eyeing Kapaʻa Quarry on Windward Oʻahu as a potential next landfill site after Nānākuli closes in 2028, but Windward lawmakers warn it would require major legal changes and cite concerns including wetlands and cultural sites. Wildlife & Science: UH Hilo researchers report the first known blacktip shark nursery in Hawaiian waters, finding juvenile sharks in Hilo Bay year-round, with guidance that habitat impacts can be as harmful as fishing. Community & Resilience: DLNR announced $1.8 million in Green Fee-funded wildfire mitigation grants across five islands, backing fuel reduction, evacuation planning, and preparedness projects. Health & Justice: A Laie woman, a former social worker, was sentenced to 10 years after pleading guilty to assault tied to her adopted daughter’s death. Homesteads: State funding of $350,000 supports design and initial site prep for the Panaʻewa Hub, a Hawaiian homestead multipurpose community center in South Hilo. Aging Services: Molokaʻi Drugs received an Age-Friendly Pharmacy recognition for training staff to better serve seniors.
