Show You Care Campaign

On Thursday 8/16 from 7:15 -7:35 am, JPOs and Honolulu Police will be sign waving for the "Show you Care, Be Aware"  and "Look Around, Put it Down"  slogans to promote pedestrian and driver safety on our roads.  See you there.  

Kona Ice reminder for this week!!

Kona Ice will be here on Thursday, August 16th, at 2:00 because Friday, August 17th, is a holiday.  Beginning this week, we will be selling only the paper cups ($3, $4 and $5) and will not be doing any refills on the plastic cups.  They will be able to do refills at other locations.

Walk Wise Hawaii Campaign

Show You Care, Be Aware!

Look Around, Put It Down!

Pedestrians being struck by a vehicle is the 5th leading cause of injury for children ages 5-19. Teens are twice as likely to be his by a car than any other age group. So join the campaign! Show You Care, Be Aware...Look Around, Put it Down!

* Traffic safety is a two way street. Before you go on your way, look both ways. Pedestrians, take charge of your own lives!

* Did you know that more than 80% of drivers admit to driving recklessly..changing

clothes, steering the wheel with foot, painting finger nails and shaving? Show You Care, Be Aware stresses the importance of being a safe pedestrian by making eye contact with the driver before crossing the street.

* Nearly one pedestrian injury happens every 8 minutes. Show You Care, Be Aware

strives to reduce this statistic. Join us and help save lives on the road by paying attention when you cross the street.

* Texting while walking slows your pace and decreases your ability to walk in a straight

line significantly. Distracted pedestrians are more likely to be injured. Make sure the driver can see you when you cross. Petextrians, put it down and look around!

* Every two hours a pedestrian dies while walking and texting..Stay Alivel... "Show you care. be aware. look around. put it down. Erase Petextrians!!”

* Be aware and show that you care!!! Think about what might happen next if you look at

that text. Every year more than 4,700 people are killed crossing the street while texting! So put that cellphone down and look around!
