Chief Mahuna Talk Story Session June 23 in Kea’au

The Hawai’i Police Department invites the public to attend Police Chief Mahuna’s next informal “Talk Story with the Chief” session on Tuesday, June 23, from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Kea‘au Community Center, 16-186 Pili Mua Street, Kea’au, Hawaii.

Reflecting the Chief’s commitment to community engagement, these talk story sessions are aimed at strengthening communication and connection between police leadership and the community.

The meetings rotate throughout Hawaiʻi Island and provide residents an opportunity to meet directly with Chief Mahuna and district commanders to share concerns, ask questions, and discuss public safety issues in an open, conversational setting. The informal format is intentional and reflects the department’s goal of being accessible and responsive to the community.

“Bringing our residents and officers together in one room allows us to break down any barriers, share vital information, and most importantly, enhances our ability to work collaboratively towards solutions” said Chief Mahuna.

Members of the public are encouraged to attend and participate in the discussion.

The July meeting will be held on July 29 in Kona at a location to be announced.
