Since the latest outbreak of bad news, I have had two serious inquiries from Punawebbers regarding starting Block Watches in specific areas of HPP. This is good news, and yet another testament to the usefulness of this forum.
Devany, your suggestions and insights are spot on. Unfortunately, the Police in Puna are stretched beyond reasonable limits in terms of manpower and other resources. We need to redistribute those resources along the lines of population and calls for assistance, but there are political obstacles to such a redistribution. Rob Tucker and others (including myself) are trying to change this, but it is uphill all the way.
Thanks to everyone who has offered suggestions or chosen to get involved. It will make a difference.
Cheers,
Jerry
