Please pardon the delay. The HPD does not maintain a file containing the info for individual officers that you are requesting. We may be able to retrieve the total number of hours worked and off-duty for all officers for January 1-8, 2019 and 2020. Would that work? Please call Michelle Yu at (808)723-3865 if you would like to discuss further.

Hi - thank you for your response.
I'm a little confused how or why officers' records on time off wouldn't be maintained by HPD or any of its downstream agencies. In my experience when requesting these records, agencies have systems that can be queried by HR personnel or finance personnel to have an understanding of where and how staffing is being allocated. I sincerely doubt that these systems don't exist, so I'd like to ask that you and your agency dig a little bit deeper into this. As it stands, my concern is that the respective agencies simply don't want to spend the time to collect these records, which is at ends with the public's interest.
Unfortunately aggregate records will not be helpful because it wouldn't include information on individual officers. I am willing to narrow my request to some extent, but I would like to ask that your agency do a little bit more research in discovering what's possible and what's not. With that, I can more easily narrow the request and can provide the public with as much information as possible.
You said over the phone that your agency has already done a fair amount of back and forth with me already to suggest that your agency has done its dilligence, however the back and forth was only a clarifying question that had nothing do with the current question, so I'm unsure the relevance of our minimal back and forth presently.
Please let me know how you wish to continue,
Thank you.
