Warning to tourists as Hawaii police strike cripples island
Hawaii police officers in four counties walk out leaving 1,800 officers off duty. Officials seek a temporary restraining order as emergency coverage fails. Supervisors handle only emergencies, with crime reports by phone. No state police exist to fill gaps. Maui reports direct security issues. Public safety lines down, traffic signals on warning mode, and police stations damaged. Negotiations lag with a 60-day cooling off period, unions seeking 20 percent pay raises over two years and car allowances up.
