Website Visitor Reports Math Error On "HPD's Poor Record Of Enforcement" Page

0.040 (four-tenths of a ticket)

This doesn't add up. 4/10 is .4
.04 is 4 one-hundredths
.040 is 40 one-thousandths(but reduces to 4 one-hundredths)

Quieter O'ahu Response

Aloha,

Thanks for finding the 0.04 typo. As we stipulated, 809 tickets for noise violations were issued per year for the period cited. When divided by 2000 sworn HPD Officers (809/2000) this equals an average of 0.4045 or 4/10 of a ticket issued per officer per year.

Site has been corrected.

Mahalo,
Quieter O'ahu

Let us know what you think. Are you tired of the noise? Do you have ideas on how to combat the noise? Tell us about it.

Also, use the "Contact A Quieter O'ahu" form (under "About Us" on the menu bar) to let us hear from you. We continue to compile email addresses of those interested in reclaiming quiet for our island to inform of noise and related issues of interest. From time to time Quieter O'ahu may recommend contacting City Council or the Legislator to make your feelings known on a particular noise or related Bill.

TOGETHER we can affect positive change.
