Puna Kupuna Watch Meeting
April 9 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Hawaiʻi Police Department’s Puna Community Policing Section will hold its first-ever Puna Kūpuna Watch meeting on Thursday, April 9, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Pāhoa Senior Center, 15-3016 Kauhale Street, in Pāhoa.
Kupuna Watch is a free monthly outreach program designed to promote safety awareness, strengthen communication between police and residents, and support efforts to keep neighborhoods safe, particularly for seniors. During these meetings, officers share crime and traffic trends, the importance of reporting elder abuse, as well as ways to recognize and prevent financial and internet-related crimes.
The Puna meetings build on the success of similar meetings launched in Kona last fall.
Future monthly Puna Kupuna Watch meetings will be held the second Thursday of the month at various locations throughout Puna.
Community members are encouraged to attend, ask questions, and take part in this informative gathering.
For more information, please contact Officer Eddie Cardines at ecardines@hawaiipolice.gov or call the Pāhoa Police Station at (808) 965-2716.
