Requesting The Department Of Law Enforcement To Conduct A Feasibility Study On Providing Security Twenty-four Hours A Day, Seven Days A Week For All State Buildings.
Impact
The bill underlines the importance of balancing open access to state buildings, such as public schools and departmental offices, with the necessity of ensuring safety for visitors and occupants. By initiating a feasibility study, HR83 aims to evaluate the logistical and financial aspects of implementing comprehensive security measures. This evaluation will address the potential need for resources, personnel, equipment, and training as part of a strategy to enhance security protocols across state buildings, which could set a precedent for future legislative actions regarding building safety.
Summary
House Resolution 83 (HR83) introduces a request for the Department of Law Enforcement to conduct a feasibility study aimed at providing continuous security for all state buildings in Hawaii, operating twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. The resolution acknowledges the significant daily interactions between state government branches and Hawaii residents, highlighting the potential security risks that arise from these engagements. It raises concerns regarding public officials and employees facing threats or retaliatory actions due to decisions made in the course of their official duties.
Contention
While the resolution sets out to enhance security in public settings, it may draw contention regarding the financial implications and the potential necessity of contracting with private entities to secure these services. Discussions could arise around the prioritization of public funds and the efficiency of private versus public provision of security. Additionally, the effective implementation of such security measures could face administrative challenges that need to be addressed in the feasibility study, including the coordination of efforts with other law enforcement agencies and the impact on the accessibility of government services.
