As a response to the repeated denials of racial bias in policing in Hawai‘i by HPD despite data showing otherwise, our Legal Director Mateo Caballero wrote a letter to HPD asking them to prioritize more reforms to address disparities in racial and wealth on July 5, 2020.
On Monday, July 20, HPD responded to Caballero via email with several documents: Notice to Requester, which contains citation information, estimated statistics for enforcement of the COVID-19 orders as of July 6, 2020; the log of citations from March 1, 2020 to July 5, 2020; and a spreadsheet of the citations organized by violation type and date.
