HONOLULU (KHON2) -- A total of 25 new surveillance cameras are coming to Ala Moana Regional Park, but KHON2 wanted to know why they are needed. Check out more news from around Hawaii City officials said the cameras are meant to deter crime and public crime data showed that there are some trouble spots around Ala Moana. Park users of Ala Moana said they are all in favor of deterring crime with cameras, but enforcing it is just as critical. Increased Hawaii park surveillance without public approval "Visual deterrent is very, very much possible. I think it could be effective. But also the judicial system has to step in and prosecute people who are repeat offenders, career criminals," said Jim Saris, visiting from Canada." Honolulu police crime mapping revealed more than 50 crimes reported in the last four weeks around the 1400 block of Ala Moana Boulevard that range from assaults, robberies and sex crimes. Park users said that is abominable. "Extremely surprising to me," said Ala Moana resident Anne Sadler. "We're surprised about the crime here, we thought it was kind of away, or exclusive," said Frank Sadler. "Safe, you know, safe area," Anne said. "I'm appalled by that figure. I think it's, uh. I mean, what is excessive," said Saris. Park users said they are generally in support of deterring crime through cameras and added that folks do not have anything to worry about if they are not doing anything illegal. 30 security cameras being installed in Chinatown "I think if you're in a public space like this, it's okay to be monitored, you know, as long as you're not doing anything wrong, what's the difference," Sadler said. City officials with the Department of Parks and Recreation said the cameras have helped to solve criminal investigations, community leaders from Chinatown said 60 cameras are installed in their district and there has been a noticeable improvement in crime. "But no matter what, I think that the City should be notifying everyone and the public should have input on it and I believe that they should go through the neighborhood board systems like everyone else does," said Downtown-Chinatown Neighborhood Board chair Ernest Caravalho. "Any time taxpayer dollars are involved, the public should always have a say, but it's a matter of priorities, and priority for me is public safety," Saris said.
