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
