What stands out about safety in Hanalei

Read from the numbers below. The page puts what stands out first.

Who patrols here

Hanalei is covered by the county

Hanalei has no police department of its own in the FBI’s data. Calls here most likely go to the Kauai Police Department, and its numbers cover the whole area it patrols, not just Hanalei.

Kauai Police Department

Crimes reported in the parts of Kauai County it patrols: the towns and villages without police of their own.

Property crimes (burglary, theft, stolen cars)

Violent crimes (assault, robbery, rape, murder)

→ Property crime about the same since 2022→ Violent crime about the same since 2022

These are counts, not rates. The FBI doesn’t publish how many people each agency covers, so we can’t turn them into a per-resident figure or a Safety Grade. Source: FBI Uniform Crime Reporting, offenses known to law enforcement by county and by state agency.

The Safety Grade is our own summary of that data, not an official rating. Natural hazards: FEMA National Risk Index and flood insurance claims. Hospitals: CMS Hospital General Information.
