Thousands of Honolulu police guns are being replaced after decades on the job, but what happens to all the old weapons?There are some who would take them. The police force in American Samoa is rearming after decades without guns.American Samoa is counting on a donation from Honolulu. Their commissioner met the chief during a visit to Honolulu, heard about the new gun plans and says he asked Kealoha to consider the favor of a donation.“I have not gotten the weapons yet,” American Samoa Police Commissioner Bill Haleck said. “I am still working with Chief Kealoha on the matter. He wrote to me and said that yes he is still willing to transfer the weapons over to me but they are still having a slow transition to the Glocks and so it’s going to take a little while longer until that transition is complete.”Haleck says he’s hoping for a few hundred of Honolulu’s old guns.“The donation is very helpful to our department,” Haleck said. “It will save us a bunch of money without having the government of American Samoa come out of pocket $400-$500.”Haleck is referring to the cost of the new Glocks, just like Honolulu’s, that American Samoa bought a couple dozen of meanwhile.“I did that just in case something fell through on (Honolulu’s) part,” Haleck said. “At least we’ll be able to get some weapons to start our program with. I just fear for the safety of our officers because of changing times and some of the criminal elements we’re facing here in the islands, as well as illegal guns that are on the streets here.”KHON2 asked Chief Kealoha, will American Samoa still be able to get that donation?“Because the final determination hasn’t been made, we’re really not sure. That’s an option that we’re looking at as well as several different options,” Kealoha said.“Samoa is a great place, but did the city decide it goes to Samoa?” Kobayashi said. “Definitely we want to know, because we could be getting a trade-in, recycling. There are lots of options where the city could benefit.”So who makes the decision on the fate of the old guns, and when will it happen?“That’s really tough to say, because we have over 2,000 guns and that’s a lot of weapons. How long is it going to take? I’m unsure because when we do make the final decision, we want to make sure it’s the right decision, so I cannot give you a timeline on that,” Kealoha said. “As far as who makes the decision, it’s based on people in the city as well as the police department.”
