THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES JOINED WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY IN ANNOUNCING A NEW “SAFE SUMMER” INITIATIVE.

FROM NOW THROUGH LABOR DAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2005 STATE SHERIFF DEPUTIES WILL JOIN DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS… TO INCREASE PATROLS AT OUR STATE PARKS AND BOAT HARBORS.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR RESIDENTS AND VISITORS ARE ABLE TO ENJOY OUR PARKS AND HARBORS WITHOUT FEAR OR THE THREAT OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY.

REMEMBER…IT’S ILLEGAL TO DRINK ALCOHOL AT OUR PARKS AND HARBORS. 

SADLY… MANY PARKS ARE USED FOR “UNDERAGE” DRINKING PARTIES…AS WELL AS OTHER ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES THAT DAMAGE OUR PARKS AND MAKE IT UNSAFE.

OUR STATE PARKS AND HARBORS ARE FUN PLACES TO ENJOY THIS SUMMER…BUT IF YOU’RE CAUGHT DRINKING ALCOHOL OR USING DRUGS…YOU WILL BE APPREHENDED, ARRESTED AND PROSECUTED TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW.

TO REPORT ILLEGAL ACTIVITY IN YOUR STATE PARKS OR HARBORS…PLEASE CALL THE HOTLINE AT 5-8-6-THIRTEEN, FIFTY-TWO. (586-1352)
THIS IS LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR DUKE AIONA.
