Violent Firearms Crime Coalition

The Violent Firearms Crime Coalition brings together law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, community organizations, and state officials to coordinate strategies for reducing gun violence in Hawaii. The coalition shares data, develops intervention programs, and recommends policy changes to address the factors driving firearm-related crime, including illegal weapons trafficking and domestic violence. It promotes collaboration among agencies that often work in silos to create a more integrated response to violent crime.

Gun violence affects community safety across Hawaii, and this coalition shapes the law enforcement, prevention, and policy strategies used to address it. Community members, public safety advocates, and organizations working with at-risk populations can engage with the coalition to support evidence-based violence reduction strategies.
