Security Considerations in Kauai
Kauai has one main highway running around most of the island, so travel between Lihue, Kapaa, Poipu and Princeville depends heavily on congestion through Kapaa and Lihue at peak hours. Programs with posts in several towns need schedules that leave room for that drive and backup plans if a road is closed. Resort boutiques and galleries in Poipu and Princeville carry higher value merchandise in small, open storefronts, where officers focus on visible presence and quiet observation.
Cruise ship calls at Nawiliwili Harbor bring large groups into Lihue on short schedules, and hotel occupancy rises during the winter and summer travel seasons. North shore rainfall and occasional flooding along Kuhio Highway near Hanalei can cut off access, so north shore posts need written instructions for weather closures. Officers greeting visitors should be at ease assisting Japanese-speaking guests and with the Hawaiian place names used across the island.
