Yes crime has always been part and parcel of the tourist trade in Waikiki but the criminal elements
there now are much more hardcore and they need to dealt with by the City, the hotels and
HPD.  Assigning more CRU units there along with more officers would help. Vice should also
be there in force focusing on the pimps and prostitutes and drug trade. If these people get the
idea that everything is open for them, they will increase like the cockroaches they are.
Temporary increasing police presence is like trying to put out a oil fire with water.  You tamp it
down but it springs back right up.
