Why HPD Has A Major Morale Problem, According To Staff
Crumbling concrete around the police station’s exterior in Kapolei. Raised and cracked asphalt in the parking lot at the Pearl City station. Wires protruding from light fixtures in the lawn of the department’s Honolulu headquarters.
These are a few examples of the “dirty, run-down, degraded” condition of many Honolulu Police Department facilities, Jonathan Frye, Honolulu chapter chair of the state police union, told Civil Beat this week. For Frye, the department’s dilapidated buildings aren’t just eyesores, they also contribute to low morale among officers.
