MPD to host series of Town Hall meetings starting Nov. 8 in South Maui

The Maui Police Department will host a series of Town Hall meetings over the next few months.  The meetings were introduced last year by the then-new administration, as a way to gather information from the public and work with individual communities to address challenges and concerns.
