Letter: Open police scanners to boost public safety, trust

On Oahu, police scanners are closed to the media. This restricts broadcasters’ ability to fulfill a critical public service — keeping the people of Hawaii informed in real time, especially during emergencies when every second matters. Whether it’s a wildfire, a major traffic incident or a missing child, access to real-time scanners can significantly improve the speed and accuracy of information delivered to the public.
