HPD reports drop in car break‑ins, pledges follow‑up on graffiti reporting
Summary
Lieutenant Arnold Segusho said vehicle break‑ins and motor vehicle thefts fell in June and credited an arrest and concentrated patrols; he also pledged to share graffiti reporting contacts and encouraged public reporting via HPD and the city 311 system.
Lieutenant Arnold Segusho (HPD District 1) delivered June crime statistics and highlighted notable declines in vehicle crimes: "UMVs or car break ins were 19, previous, 39, so significant drop in also that category." He suggested the decrease may stem in part from a recent arrest and from a concentrated patrol initiative led by Major Paul Okimoto.
Segusho said burglaries and thefts showed small month‑to‑month changes and noted total calls for service in the area remained roughly steady. He encouraged residents to report graffiti and said HPD will coordinate with Parks and Recreation and facilities management when graffiti affects city property; he also said he would post the graffiti hotline in the meeting chat. Board members asked for clearer reporting and public‑information campaigns to direct residents to HPD or 311 for reporting.
