Officer Kathleen Capellas from the Pearl City Police Station-Community Policing Team and a group of volunteers, took to the streets on Tuesday to help bring awareness to the problem of speeding in Pearl City.
Speeding and the public's safety is a major concern of Pearl City residents and HPD. Officer Capellas coordinates community sign waving efforts through the Community Traffic Awareness Program (CTAP).
