WAIANAE, Hawaii (KHON2) -- Honolulu City Councilmember Andria Tupola, who represents the Waianae Coast, introduced a resolution to have surveillance camera trailers, like the ones added to scenic spots from Diamond Head to East Honolulu earlier this year, be placed in certain spots along the Waianae Coast.

"Meaning if there is any kind of crime or illegal activity it has to be seen by an officer or community member." "It's definitely going to help, our last couple murders, shootings, and incidents have been at state or public parks so we're going to put [the cameras] in public areas where this crime and illegal activity is going on so we can try and deter it." Oahu park users generally support camera surveillance She said the cameras are already paid for and on the island because two additional cameras were used once the cameras were launched for the scenic spots program. "With surveillance monitoring if something does happen, and say for example there's an officer there and he misses it, this isn't going to miss it, this is going to capture it, we're going to be able to rewind the footage, go back to the date, time, description of the person so it's actually a lot more accurate and I think it can be used for a longer period of time," Tupola added. The cameras can be moved to different locations as well, and she said it is something the community has been asking for for quite some time. "It's a win for us especially because we have a shortage of officers," she said. "Basically, this is to let criminals know that we're watching and we're trying to keep the community safe." The resolution will be heard for the first time in late October before it goes to full council in November. "I'm in full support of the resolution to put cameras throughout the Waianae Coast, especially at our city parks and beaches," said state Rep. Cedric Gates (D) Waianae, Makaha. Earlier this week, KHON2 met up with Rep. Gates who bought his own cameras to monitor illegal dumping and activities happening on Paakea Road. He said after the KHON2 story aired he had homeowners call him and volunteer to have the cameras placed outside of their home. "This will help us track and trace whoever is committing these illegal activities in our community whether its illegal dumping or household rubbish," he said.

"I'm looking for a long-term solution and I think these cameras and what council member Tupola is introducing, we'll come together and work in unison to get the results our community has been demanding."
