Current Events
There have been numerous reports of a phone scam being used here on the Big Island. The culprits are calling people on the phone and saying they are from the Hawaii Police Department or with the Hawaii Police Athletics League. They then ask for donations. **The Hawaii Police Department does not solicit funds via phone for its organizations. This is a scam. If you receive calls like this do not give out any personal information. Contact police at the non emergency number below.
